Week #25 - Finishing Details Part #5

(July 5 - 11, 2010)

Casa Roa - end of Week #25
Happy Stampede!

As you can see from this week's photo, the stone installation on the front of the house was started and nearly completed. It looks fantastic!! The stone mason will finish up once the stairs are built on the front of the house.

The Casa Roa tour guide has returned this week. She was busy testing out the new hardwood floors and kitchen drawers during our most recent visit (see below). The hardwood installation is nearly complete. A small section in the dining room will be finished once more hardwood material is delivered.


I came across an incredible deal on wood (composite) blinds for the windows. Too good to pass up! The window measurements were taken and an order was placed. The blinds should be ready for installation in a couple of weeks. Another detail off the checklist.

There isn't much more to report this week. The concrete pads for the entry ways and the sidewalk from the house to the garage were not poured this week. Hopefully this will be done next week. Next week's post should include some pictures of the cabinets with the doors installed. What's left to do? Installing lighting fixtures, hooking up the plumbing fixtures and appliances, painting, shoe moulding on the baseboards and completion of the front porch and deck. I'm sure there are other things to be done that I'm missing. In any event, we're in the home stretch. I'm closing out this post with some more photos of the house this week. Kieran found a roll of tuck tape used to tape down some temporary floor coverings over the hardwood. I think she liked the red colour but wasn't at all keen on the stick factor.
