Well, It's New Year's Day


And we kinda forgot that the city of Rockwall does not allow contracted construction on holidays. So, tomorrow it is.

Bret and Dad went out to the house with Erik and they finished up (well, mostly) the bannister. Apparently you can actually lean on it now. We will add a hand rail along the wall, too, so something else to do!

This is pre-finished, hence the crooked balusters. Erik's still going to add some decorative trim to the newels to make them all craftsman-y. I would love to X this off the list, but I'll be honest about how much work is left and wait until ALL moldings and such are complete and PAINTED before nixing the bannister, fireplace, or moldings on the list. But we're SO close.
I'll be laying grass this weekend as Erik wants to finish up what he's started so that painter can do his job. Next week we should pass the 2nd to last inspection and maybe get electricity. Then there should be a lot of tiling (kitchen and fireplace) and cleaning before the floors go down!
