July 18th - 22nd - Painting, Caulking, Tiling & Electrical work

Sorry no new  pictures this week but staying very busy with lawn work, more painting and  caulking the trim. The tile work started Wednesday and the  electrican is back connecting the panel boxes and should be hanging all fixtures next week.  Once all the electrical is done we are  hoping to have the parish inspect and provide us a "temporary permit" which will allow us to have the a/c connected and turned on.  Then we'll have the wood floors delivered and installed within 2-3 days.  Remaining kitchen/bath cabinets are in (praying they fit this time)  and the appliances are in and will be delivered this week.  Cabinet/Trim carpenter will return after the floor is done.  This part is sooooo slow!

Thanks for your interest and  keeping up with our house progress and we promise to have photos next week.
