Carpet

We've had some busy days at the house this week. It seems everyone is in there at once trying to finish by the end of the month. Our carpet was drop-shipped from Carpet Hut in VA Beach from our friends who own the store. They helped us choose some great Shaw carpet made from recycled bottles. Some people tell us it reminds them of the old "shag." It's actually called frieze today. Here is the padding.



This is the Master Bedroom. The walls are completed, too.



This is the boys' bedroom. Again, the walls are complete.



This is the shower in the Master Bath. The tile guys will finish the grout tomorrow.



The plumbers finally arrived and have begun some of the final trim. This is the prep sink. We're not sure about the goal of finishing by the end of the month. The plumbers promised to have the gas lines installed and inspected by this afternoon, and they didn't show up until today to begin the work. This means they were not ready for the inspector or the tank delivery. The next possible delivery is next Wednesday, too late for us to have our C. O. in hand by the end of the month.

We have come to truly appreciate the professionals who show up when they say they will and do what they are being paid to do.
