    There's a reason it has plenty of cabinets and two sinks!

    House is done now, waiting to close. I'm ready to move in to say the least.

    Yes, the baseboards were in before the flooring and then they put the small trim stock. Not thrilled about it, but it doesn't look that bad. They have to cut in the baseboards again now.

    Looking great, I think your a sadist for taking on painting that. I'd rather pull out my big tie nail out with pliers than paint a new house. I paint my rentals, but I don't care if it's perfect and I don't see it everyday

    Tile almost done, about to start wood floors. Picking out granite tomorrow. I wish I would have never agreed.in the contract to paint the interior to save money. I'd rather take an ass whooping than do that again.

    Still looks really nice, that is a great house you are building.
    Yeah, I think it would have been better with a pre-stain conditioner. I think part of the problem was they sanded the cabinets too smooth and the doors wouldn't let any stain in. They came back and hit them with a little rougher grit and the doors started taking the stain.

    Finishing up the cabinets, so we can get some paint on the walls. Staining the maple was tricky, a slight oversight in picking the wood but I like the tighter grain. Sherwin Williams Armoire Hickory stain on the cabinets.

    I'll have to look at my builders sheet. The guy does everything but AC and septic so some prices are lumped together.
