Saturday House Update

Posted by Heather on April 9, 2005 at 5:39 PM

Tim and I stopped by the house after our first baby class (!!!) to see the progress since earlier this week. We knew they'd be starting to install the cabinets that had been delivered, and continue working on the interior trim and tile installation so wanted to see where things were at.

Cabinet installation in the laundry room has started, and they also have about two thirds of the wall tile in the dog wash installed. They've started setting the cabinets in the guest and master bathrooms, have finished the wonderboard installation in the master shower, continued to make progress on the crown molding, and have installed almost all of the interior window sills.

Hardwood flooring installation is on hold while we continue to dry out the house. Apparently a moisture reading taken last week revealed the floor moisture content is at around 18% and it needs to be max 12% for the hardwood floor guys to be able to guarantee the install. So they've brought back in the big heater, dehumidifier, and fans, and are pumping hot air throughout the house to continue to dry it out. Hopefully it won't take too long. Guess this is one of the challenges when building in the Pacific Northwest. It could be worse, I suppose. We had a relatively dry winter this year.
