It's pretty nuts to think that in a few short weeks the #tateresidence will be complete and we will be moving in to OUR house. We have been without our own home for a year and a half, but are so grateful to Grancy and Pop (our roommates) for allowing us to stay with them this long. Truly a blessing.
What a year of change and more change. Some things good and some things... well just changed. I did learn a few things along the way though; Jennifer and I can make it through anything as long as we are together, we are a great team that balances each other out, Jennifer has very expensive taste and can almost always pick the most expensive things available.
Speaking of expensive things...the real stone veneer is complete and grouted. As we expected, it provided the wow factor at the front of the house we were looking for. 
The 3-1/2" red oak hardwood flooring started today and should be sanded and finished by the end of the week. The hardwood is continuous throughout the first floor, except for the Mudroom which has slate flooring.
Final selection for the carpet has been made and material has been ordered. All bathroom tile is complete expect for wall tile in master. 
The trim carpentry is wrapping up and we are excited to reveal those details once complete.
As for the site; the sewer line has been directional bored to our property line. We set of grinder pump and installed the sewer line on our property to the tie in point. Should be hooked up next week.
Final grading of site should happen next week with walkways, steps, patio, seeding and landscaping to follow. The porches are done in PA bluestone/flagstone which is the likely the material we will use on walkways and patios. 
Oh and the custom cabinets are being built...here is a sneak peak of the custom kitchen island.
Next post may be at move in!
Love, peace, and hair grease,
Mr. T.
