The Thomas House

Here’s a few new pictures of the outside of the house.  As you can see, the brick is done (with the exception of the stairs and the chimney).  Also, 95% of the exterior painting is completed as well.  Cabinets started going in today, and also about 50% of the hardwoods have been laid (they still have to be sanded and stained).  The cabinets look awesome!  In addition, I would say 90%+ of the tile work is done with only a little bit of the master tub lacking.

I have to say I am really excited about the tile for the baths.  The floors in each bathroom are done except for the grouting.  They have started on the master bath.  I am REALLY excited about it.  I will post pictures of it this week when they get a little farther along.  The brick for the house should be done by the end of the week as well.  We are really pleased with the brick work and the look.  Terry with Jenkins Brick brought the CEO of Jenkins Brick out to see the house a few weeks ago!  He was really impressed and so was I.  More photos to come this week!

It has been a while.  Just because I have not fulfilled my duty of keeping this updated does not mean work has stopped.  Craig and I have been crazy busy trying to pick out flooring, decking, and other odds and ends.  And somehow the vision of this house is supposed to come together.  I am just hoping the picture in my head matches the actual house.   So far it does.  The brick layers have been working for several weeks.  They just started the front porch today and after that it will be done.  I have to say they have done an incredible job.  We make sure and thank them and all the other workers each day for their hard work.  Each one is  so appreciative and tells they are just happy to be working. 

I have uploaded more pictures to our gallery.  Hope you enjoy.
