This weekend Mike checked a few more things off of our list of things left to do on the house:
1. Fixed a couple outlets on the island that didn't work when he installed them - this completes our electrical so we are ready for our final inspection.
2. A lot of the tile on the hearth of the fireplace had come loose, most likely the surface underneath isn't a very good base for putting tile on; so Mike glued the tiles back on and is going to caulk the spaces between the tile instead of grout to make it more durable since the kids sit on it a lot.
3. He put black caulk in the seams between the tile and wood floor by the mudroom and bathroom upstairs.
4. Finished the attic access door that is in our master closet. Put a panel on it with insulation on the other side.
5. Painted the hardware on the yellow barn door downstairs. They were just metal and he painted them with a black hammered look paint.
6. Put on the vent grate on the wall downstairs for the furnace intake. We tried to find a different size to fit the opening better, but all we could find were larger vents so that will have to do.
7. Painted and put on the vent grate cover for the vent on the vanity in the upstairs bathroom. That was another we tried to find in an oil rubbed bronze but couldn't find so Mike just painted it black.
We've cut our list in half in the recent weeks, it's feeling good and getting a lot closer to being able to say "It's Done!!"
