The Finale: Exterior

Moving day was one month ago today, May 12th, but there has been a lot of finishing touches going on over the last several weeks.

The results are a beautiful dream home that Wayne & Susan should enjoy for many years to come.

Entry not complete. More to come.

The Finale: Interior

Here are some pictures of the interior of the home. There is a lot of really nice finishing work that is not obvious from the pictures.

Remember One Year Ago?

Hey Wayne & Susan... remember this picture, taken almost exactly one year ago (June 17th)?

You were standing on the vacant lot where your dream home is now a reality.

Congratulations! It's been a fun process.

Delays With The Pool Installation

Now that Spring is here it's time for the pool installation to begin so other landscaping tasks can be coordinated around it. Wayne has been having some serious issues getting Swim World to return phone calls. When a large deposit on the pool was put down last year with Swim World of Wenatchee, Wayne & Susan were assured they would be the very first on the job sheet this Spring. So far this is not happening and we're trying to get a straight answer as to why.

Kitchen cabinets have been installed and rock work is in progress on the exterior of the home.

Here is the latest e-mail I received from Wayne after a visit to Wenatchee earlier this week. - Carol Williams, agent

"Hi Carol,

I'm sorry we did not make lunch but we did meet briefly at the site and that was good.

Main reason for the trip was the pool situation and I feel much better even with the delays. Swim World still has not been straight but Dave filled in the gaps and appears very competent to complete the work needed for the pool. I feel a sense of trust talking with him. Also, good you know him even more trustworthy.

Granite people seem very on top of the project. They had slabs very similar or same in stock but still gave me a sample to final check with Sue. I liked that very much as it added professionalism.

The garage cabinets were 24 inches deep. Originally I was going to use 12 inch like kitchen upper cabinets but we decided to go 16 inch giving a little more room. Bagdon's made 24 inch that looked nice but felt big for garage wall. Rob put it simply, I will send them back in a heart beat, and we will be changing them to 16 inch.

The stone work is looking nice and so is the window trim and base moldings. Looking forward to see progress on Saturday or Sunday. I am planning Saturday, start early, check the house, and take you to lunch.

Wayne"
