The builder quickly took on the "punch list," though not too happy about it. Most of the issues have been addressed to some degree. The interior walls have been primed and the ceilings have been painted. The wood flooring was delivered Friday, and will acclimate for a few days before being installed. Josie and I tiptoed around the house finding and fixing squeeks in the floor last night. After six weeks, the front door was finally fixed. Most of the exterior trim has been caulked, puttied and sanded. By late Saturday I finally got a valuable part needed to hang ladders on the roof (so as not to make holes and still have footing). This will allow me to get most of the remainding difficult-to-reach trim. I'll need to bumb assistance on moving the 40' ladder to reach the rest. The gutter guy and I met Friday morning. He plans to come in 10 days to install, meaning I have to at least have the fascia boards primed with two coats of paint by then. I started priming that day. Met briefly with the electrician, who said he would come by to start installing the exterior fixtures and interior plates, switches, etc. I ordered the remaining exterior fixtures needed. Began process for ordering the interior doors, ordered the exterior door hardware, continue to shop tile and purchased the underlayment for the bathrooms. My tiling equipment has been moved to the house (from storage). We also stopped by to check on the progress with our kitchen cabinetry. Mark, the carpenter, had several logistical questions which we were able to solve at that time. While there seems to be no end to the list of items stollen, quality issues, broken windows, broken promises, materials arriving broken and such, the truth is that the progress far outweights these setbacks. Now for a day of rest and worship before another week of progress (Psalm 127:1).
