We have drywall – and its almost done! The basics looked like they were done when we stopped by the house on the way out of town Saturday for the long weekend… Too bad there are still a few (3) things we’d like done – 2 to be done by SoundTrack – before they mud / texture, etc.
What two things from SoundTrack? The missing phone outlet in the den (hopefully an easy fix – since we think they can run it up from the basement)... And the speaker coil for the master bathroom is about 3 inches from the wall still – instead of centered in the ceiling.
The one thing that we’d talked with Gary about that John Laing could do – though it isn’t standard: moving the doorbell higher and thermostat lower on the wall they share – so that we can (hopefully) still use that wall for hanging some of our photos / art on. The way they have them in the standard layout – the space between the thermostat and doorbell chime box isn’t quite large enough for a picture of any useful size. BUT - if you move the doorbell chime up to the top of the wall (since no one looks at it anyway) – and move the thermostat down slightly – its just right! (We’ll see if we can press our luck with this one!)
Hopefully we’re getting close to texturing. After texture comes cabinets – and with their install = our “30 days until closing” letter! Woohoo!
