Wow! What a difference two days make!

Ok, so we were last at the house on Wednesday, August the 8th and saw that the walls had all been taped, mudded and the ceilings were all textured.  We also saw that all of our cabinets, etc... had been delivered and were sitting in the garage waiting to be installed.  We went back today and the cabinets had been installed and the walls had their first coat of paint.  Our stair rails, doors, trim, fireplace and front porch pillar were also installed. We are so excited and can't wait to see what progress is made next week. Im glad we chose to have the house painted a different color, then the off white that is standard with RH.  It felt warm and cozy. It really made the white trim stand out!   

Love the Kitchen counters, can't wait to see them minus all the dust

Ok, something else we wanted to share. While we were there at the house we weren't alone. There were two men there and they were cutting big holes in our floor! Three of them on the first floor to be exact.  One in the formal family room, one in the hall in front of the stairs and the other just to the right side of our fireplace. My husband looked at me and said what in the world are they doing?  We then went down to get a view of our finished basement and there were three big holes cut out in our already textured ceiling!  So I went back upstairs and I ask the guy who is busy putting our floor back together just what exactly was going on.  Well, he says, we had to cut holes in the floor and your downstairs ceiling to run the gas lines to your fireplace.... Im thinking "this does not seem normal" and so I ask,  Is this normally how they do it?  He says, "No, Somebody dropped the ball"  He proceeds to tell my husband and I that the lines were suppose to be ran before the drywall was installed and that someone forgot to do it! What??????? below are just a few pic's.  Its hard to believe that after building this many homes that they would fail to run gas lines prior to installing drywall.  Not really happy about this and hope once the ceiling is patched that we won't be able to tell where the holes once were.

this is where they cut a hole in front of the stairs

one of the holes cut in the basement ceiling to run the forgotten gas lines
