Sprinklers, Glass Shower & Progress

You didn't think I was done posting about progress we've made on the house, did you? Cause we still have quite a punch list . . . and I'd like a complete record of building this house. So, let me show you what we've been up to, apart from moving and getting settled in.

We installed the Washer & Dryer the weekend after we moved in. I'm loving the large room and how much faster the dryer is.

Adam dug a trench and connected the main pipe to our irrigation system. He also put in the backflow preventer, which you see sticking above the ground.

Here's what it looks like after the dirt and grass was put back. We still need to insulate the pipes, but it's looking great.

For the rest of the Sprinkler System, we need to finish installing the zone valves, control panel and sprinkler heads. I think we're going to work on that this weekend. I was very thankful for the rain we had the last couple days, after it staying dry for over a month.

The mirror for the Master Bathroom was installed yesterday! I can't tell you what a huge difference it makes to the room. It feels so much larger, I love it!

The glass for the Master Shower was also installed yesterday. We finished up the paint & caulk in preparation and now the shower is functional! I am excited to use it for the first time tonight, instead of using one on the other side of the house.

The Mirror for the Jack & Jill Bathroom. Now, our bathrooms are pretty much done.

That's all for now. I'll try to stay more current with posting, especially since we have internet at home now. We are taking the punch list work slowly, because we're trying to enjoy life and not be enslaved to the house. So, it'll be a process to get everything done, and we're okay with that.

We should offically close on our home in the next week or so and are blessed that everything has gone smooth with the inspections, appraisal and paperwork. We got a really low rate and look forward to having a set payment. As for the condo, we have emptied it out and cleaned it thoroughly. We have shown it to three people so far and hope that we get a committed renter soon. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
