It has been a longgggggggg time, that's for sure. We're targeting Sept 21 as our move-in date, which is just over 3 weeks away. There is still a lot to be done between now and then!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it appears that a cougar has intruded on your property, however, if you were to ever so kindly fly me out to california, I would be more than happy to remove her clothes and her entirely shortly there after, and for doing you such a favor, I will ask for nothing more in return but a hotel room............................................ for a week.

[Just checking to see if anyone is still reading this thread besides me and pieperz06]

I think you got it wrong, the men will bring the $1 bills and you just need to show up. LOL

Yeah and the picture is all I have left. Had to use most of it to get the trans fix.

My car is on the trailer right now. I'm headed up to ST Motorsports in the morning to drop it off for the 4R70W swap.

 

[ZmanM3]

Hey Don, are you going to get trans with the manual shift body?

 

[don_w]

Not a full-manual valve body, no. It will still have a controller for auto capabilities and full lockup.

The biggest change on Friday was the installation of nearly all the upstairs carpet. Also, the 18x18 tile downstairs was getting sized and cut. In the backyard, more rocks were placed in the waterfall, and the stone cap on the seat wall is coming along nicely. We chose “Three Rivers” stone for the cap, and it has some really nice colors in it as well.

More rocks going in the waterfall.

Some 18x18 tile going in downstairs.

Carpet in loft.

Carpet and tile look good together.

This looks much better.

Aaahhh... the beauty of rocks and masonry. They only need to be cut once, and then they are good forever!

There was some more work happening on Saturday. The tile guys finished laying all the tile, and they will be grouting it either Sunday or Monday. And more stone work was going on in the back. The overhang of the cap was done, and more rocks were placed into the waterfall.



Master bath tile.

The wall cap stone is all in place.

Gas burner ring is in the fire pit.

We need more rocks!

Wide view.
