So it seems I haven't posted in a while! Haven't taken many pics lately as most work has been going on inside and right now the windows are covered in plastic so it's kinda dark for phone pics. Here is the current outside view:
Stucco Prep
The mesh is up and they're prepping for stucco. It's been off and on rain but plans are for application by the end of the week. We've got one window over the front door being replaced above the front door and everything should be set. Once completed the house should be sealed at the roofline with flashing making it watertight and able to be prepped for sheetrock. Also, after stucco application, we will then get the metal applied to the "tower" and front door overhang. We spent quite a bit of time finding the right color of metal and after driving out to Mercer Park in Spring to see the color in person on a structure out there.
Inspection
We've had much pre-sheetrock work done so we decided on getting an inspection. Plumbers, electricians and AV technicians have been out (numerous times). Before everything gets sealed up, we wanted to get objective view of the process so far. We submitted the report to the builder and they'll followup on a the items noted. Nothing earth shattering which is a relief, but a few things need attention which is normal after any attention.
Concrete Staining
The initial process of polishing and staining the foundation has been completed. We've chosen a fairly dark acid-etched finish close to walnut. It's turned out well. While working on the floor the contractors indicated we had a very good foundation pour. Makes their job easier and makes for a much smoother finish. The whole surface is now covered in a protective (and slippery) wax coating until later in the game. It'll end up polished to almost glassy.
Hoping for good weather!
