Just a quick post and some brick!

We are closing in on the home stretch, I look at my countdown everday and just can't believe how fast everything is moving along, 18 days?  Are you for real?  Your should see my apartment, it's a disaster, nothing is packed, cleaned, or organized... but that's what weekends are for, right??  I think I will take this Saturday to start in the kitchen and box everything up that I don't plan to use in the next 3 weeks, I want to start bringing everything down from the attic too, I forgot what's even up there!  I need to do a good purge and get rid of any junk I don't want coming into the new house.

I also saw they blocked up the old egress window hole, I forgot to take a pic of it though, but it kind of makes me sad, it looks... sloppy I think, and I just don't like the fact it's not poured concrete like the rest of the foundation walls, it's block and mortar  so... we aren't getting what we paid for, which was a fully poured foundation.  I know it may be acceptable, but, it still just irks me to death.  I'm glad it will be covered by the foam insulation board so I don't have to look at it at least!

I also snapped a better shot of the HW's, I peeled back a bigger section of the paper, I can't wait to see them uncovered and clean and shiny!  Also, for any of you who want to know what flooring it is, we choose Kraus Velocity Oscuro Oak.  It was outside the "Ryan Room" but was the same price as Level 4 3 1/4" plank.  Ryan didn't offer a dark hardwood in our area, only in the engineered so I ask the girl at Rusmur if there was a dark hardwood I could get at the same price and she picked this one out!  So glad I asked!  We were just going to go with the Bruce Oak in the cherry finish which I wasn't in love with, or even in like with.

The guys were working on the brick when I was there too, I told them great job :)  Not sure if they understood me but I gave them the thumbs up on their workmanship.

 The floors remind me of chocolate candy bars... mmmm chocolate candy bars...

 The master bathroom toilet... free of standing pee too, I checked... lol

 The guest bathroom, nothing too exciting, I plan on installing a floor tile later on down the road and replacing the vanity top with quartz.  But a nice shower curtain will spruce things up in the mean time!

 The guest bathroom floor, just linoleum  I kind of regret not doing tile here it wasn't that much more, but I really want to do a herring bone patterned tile floor later on when we have the extra $$ (who knows when that will be!)

Working hard on that brick!  I can't wait to see the siding up too, hopefully by Friday, I'm going to restrain myself and not check on the house until then so I can be surprised by the progression :)
