Griswold moment

My framer told me there are 3 major ways to get injured or die on a construction site: 1) Electrocution, 2) Falling, and 3) Something falling on you.

I experienced 2) today by falling right through the freaken drywall under the stairs.  Someone should have told me that they removed the temporary stair treads and not yet installed the Oak treads.  Especially when I'm there when it's pitch dark dropping off materials for the next day!

Tried to step on the tread in the dark and fell right through the damn floor.

And cleaned up a bit...

Trim and Doors

It's finally started! :)

Drainage

Our property has some challenges when it comes to draining water away from the front of the house.  I spent today packing in soil so it would slope away from the house.  It was originally like this, but had settled causing puddling against the walls.  I also installed a temporary french drain to divert water until we have the landscaping completed which will have to include burying a large drain pipe to move water away.

Door and Trim Delivery

The garage is full of materials again!

Snow!

At this pace, we will never get the stone work done on the front of the house :)

Windows Fixed

The window sashes that were busted on the gable wall during drywall delivery were finally fixed today...

Cabinets (almost) Done

Just a piece of crown and base trim left that they ran out of...

Cabinets Installation

Cabinet installation about half complete today...

And I'm not sure why I didn't think to put one of these in the basement before ;-)

Cabinets Delivery

Cabinets delivered bright and early this morning...

Also, they finished the shower tile...

Tile Grout

Floor tile is grouted.  The shower is almost done, but not finished yet...

Also cleaned the areas where the cabinets will be installed next week and put down protective cardboard...

Wrapped the cedar columns in plastic today to protect them from water before I seal them...
