We have a Driveway





The week's still not over (the stucco contractor will be there Saturday doing the scratch coat on the exterior) but it's been one heck of a week.

There were plaster people there all week and Jason our painter, of Color Craftsman (www.colorcraftsman.com), even managed to do a first coat of paint in the garage, which we hope to finish shortly to be our "spray paint room" for interior doors and crown mounding. After that, we'll use it to stage finishing materials. It's really looking great inside with the paster work moving along at a nice clip.

The painters also put a coat on the exterior windows, gutters and eves. We matched up the paint the same as the Pella windows. The stucco folks were completing the preparation outside with paper and wire for the scratch coat. I noticed a daunting pile of sand next to the driveway ready for scratch coat work tomorrow.

The paver crew were working away on the back garden walls and finished packing down crushed stone in the driveway. We now have a driveway just in time for the rains expected next week when everything may turn to mud. Yeah!

Nest week: interior doors, crown moulding, continued work on the retaining walls in back, solar panels, finish the plaster work and spray paint the interior window trim. We also plan to pick paint colors with our designer.
