Weekly update:

Walkthrough is setup for 6/6 to point out any issues.
Leave for Fargo 6/7
Get married 6/9 in Fargo :)
Come back 6/11
Final walkthrough is setup for 6/13 to ensure those issues were corrected.
Closing is setup for 6/14 (2 weeks away!!!)

As for house progress:
- All lighting (interior and exterior) has been installed.
- Water is plumbed and fully functional. All toilets and sinks, etc are installed.
- Electrical is complete and fully functional (including cable & phone jacks)
- Kitchen appliances installed (Frigidaire Gallery). We are not getting laundry machines, will just be taking the ones from Katy's house and using them in the new house.
- Furnace and air exchanger system fully installed.
- A/C unit installed.
- Real front door installed
- All door knobs/hardware installed.
- 50% of cabinet hardware installed.
- All ceiling fans mounted and functional
- Metal rod/banisters installed on stair railing
- Downstairs carpet is installed.
- They've started doing the final grading. We met with the landscaper as well, so hopefully they will be starting on that within the next week or so.
* If anyone one here knows any good Gutter people, there's a couple spots we know need gutters pretty bad.
- Garage walls have been fully rolled with the free paint from my cousin. I just need to finish cutting in around the edges some more.

That's about it I think. I have 3 old ceiling fans in my house, I think I'm going to hang one of them in the garage. If anyone wants a couple ugly, but fully functional ceiling fans, let me know. I'm also trying to find a deal on some nice fluorescent fixtures to install in the garage if anyone has any.

That's all, here's some pics

Haha, is that a door with a 1 story drop in the back? Future deck?

Love the kitchen and garage space.

Yeah that door is for a future deck. For now it acts as a urinal :)

Just a little update for this week.

- Driveway and front sidewalk are in.
- All cabinet hardware installed (kitchen, bath, etc)
- Front door painted
- Carpet is 100% complete in entire house
- Started staging the stuff used to install the stone on the front of the garages, so assume that is coming soon.
- Contractors started cleaning up after themselves so places like the garage, furnace room, etc are starting to look pretty clean now.

Pretty much it for now. Here's some updated pics. Last pic shows the house at dusk with exterior lighting on. The ones on the front of the garage are a dim candle flicker affect, but brighten up when motion is detected.

Pretty much it
