Final Details!

The Garage is full of our belongings!  We emptied the storage units and found stuff we forgot we even owned! :-)

Step 2 is to move these items into the appropriate room as we finish the trim and clean up.

Speaking of trim, here are two doors all trimmed out.  They turned out great!  The base trim still needs to go in.

Most importantly here is the City of Kirkland Inspection Record with all the Final Inspection completed and signed off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   We can officially move in to the entire house.  Very happy to get that hurdle completed.  Many people hear nightmare stories about dealing with cities and jurisdictions over permitting and inspections and I personally have experienced many painful ones.  Not so with the City of Kirkland!  They have been very helpful and a pleasure to work with through the entire process. 

Now back to work to finish the last details:-)

Final Approvals!

The City of Kirkland has numerous signoffs required along the way to completing a project.  We are down to the last few FINAL Inspections.  We got the Electrical and Public Works Final Approvals Today.  That just leaves Planning and Building Dept. Final Approvals.  I plan on calling for those by the end of this week or the beginning of the next!  Things are looking good! :-)

Lighting in the Master Bathroom

We finally have internet at the house so hopefully more frequent updates will be forthcoming :-)

More Installations

The Kitchen Hood is now in, and not a day to soon as it is raining today and cutting a hole in the roof would not have been good!

Master Bathroom sink and faucet are installed. 

Also the laundry sink, the second bathroom sink and faucet, the prep sink/steamer in the kitchen, the powder room pedestal sink and faucet, and the dishwasher hookups are all getting finished today.  Basically plumbing should be 100% complete by the end of the day :-)

The Meditation Room has the cork flooring down and is ready for finish trim.  Ignore the door on the left it needs to be installed elsewhere in the house.

Also the Front door is back off and is in the good hands of Steve of Foremost Finishes for staining.  Also all the trim is off getting stained right now. 

That's all for now.......back to work!!
