Bigfeet!

Well, the deck piers have been "installed" (not sure if that would be the correct term) and it is so very tempting to just take the plunge and do the deck this year, but we will wait until spring. The exterior of the house is complete except for the little entryway covering, that will likely get completed once the interior is done. More hardwood is down, more doors are hung and the trim is really coming along! Even the temporary stairs are gone in anticipation of the new ones coming on Thursday.

On another note, as beautiful as our counter top is, the installation job left something to be desired, for interest sake I will post the pictures. Even though the company came out and did a precise measure, the slabs came square ......... and the house is not.
Problems Being:
1. A gap in the corner between the quartz and the wall was filled with the adhesive they use for the seam........ it dried a bright orange.
2. There is a noticeable area of silicone missing on the inside seam of the sink mount - not a good thing with it holding water and all.
3. The centre of the sink does not line up with the center of the cupboards underneath it
4. The sink hole was not cut symmetrical and they covered part of the "Blanco" emblem - not life threatening, but for top dollar it should be perfect.

So, the ball is rolling to have it "remedied"

Other than that, the progress is awesome and we are excited!
