We should have occupancy when I get back from the UK next weekend. I will do some prep work like network infrastructure that next week and we mve in on the 11th of Feb. Then it’ll be another month before our new furniture arrives.
Damn, house really coming along Mikey, loving all the little details like the cabinetry and countertops, etc. That shower is gorgeous! Very exciting, congrats again
The black doors are a very cool touch. Not something I am sure I would pick without having seen it first. Turned out great. Beautiful home.
We looked at a lot of pictures on the web before deciding to go that way. Looking at it I think we found a pretty good balance of accents without any one being overwhelming.
It was a lot of work but so fun to see it come together.
Spent the week unpacking, mostly the wife's stuff since (a) she was working and (b) she has the most shit.
Got my network up and running today, including the server so PC backups can continue.
Only problems have been we had a power outage the first morning we were here (3 hours long), and seems like the boost fan in our dryer vent is not working.
All of our furniture fits really well, and our new furniture will be delivered in two weeks, roughly 2 weeks ahead of expectation.
Glad the transition is going well. Can't wait to see the fully furnished pictures.
Here are a couple. We just got our old house on the market but we did get the dining set, barstools, and area rugs we ordered. The sectional is from the old house. Pardon the mess— no staging was done. The carpet runners are for our old guy who has hip displasia, and the gates are to keep noses away from the front windows and door.
How do you like those dog gates with the doors in them? I have an older design that doesn't have a door and have been noticing lately when we need to constantly move one panel to go past it that it is scratching the floor. Do they seem flimsy since the is a U channel the door basically sits in?

They are pretty sturdy with the gates but as you guess not as solid as without.
We have one that is not sturdy at all, but that is because our daughter’s cat threw it down a flight of stairs by jumping off of it.

Just build one! You can make it as strong as you want.

My wood shop is nowhere near operational right now. I will be cranking out closst organizers and shelving and garage cabinets/storage once it is assembled.
I have to build a new workbench too... the old one was too big to move.
Been lurking in this thread a couple times now. The results are fantastic! I love the lake/pond view. We’re under contract for vacant land with a 1/3 acre retention pond on it. Hopefully I’ll have one of these threads by Fall.
We added a water chlorination system about a month ago because the sediment and iron levels in the water were just too high. A huge improvement in the water and a pretty large expense -- almost $5k. At least the pool shock that we have to use in it is cheap. Looking at about 3 gallons per year @ something like 4 bucks a gallon.
Our mud finally dried enough this week for the builder to do some grading. We have plant beds all around the house, mulch, trees, and shrubs. We bought an additional 3 trees for the backyard -- a London planetree, a silver linden, and a river birch. Also had the paver patio completely leveled because it settled over the winter and water was pooling in front of the fireplace. Irrigation system was installed today. Sod/seed and fence are next!
Congrats on the new house Mikey and Mrs. Mikey
