Where does the time go? Obviously I haven't posted in a while, but that's not for a lack of progress on the house. I've been busy coordinating the driveway/front walkway, carpet installation, electrical and plumbing.
The driveway and front walkway are in! Obviously this was a big item on the checklist towards completion, and one that is totally dependent on weather. Since we don't usually get sunshine in Seattle until July 5th, it took a bit longer than we had hoped to get the concrete poured. Everything went smoothly, until the concrete truck broke the sidewalk. This is something that the city will hold us accountable for (ie: we have to replace it). To be quite honest, I'm surprised that the sidewalk has stayed intact for this long.
Without further adieu, here are some pics:
