Granite countertops

Lots more progress at Independence this week, including laying the paved driveway outside, and installing all the granite countertops inside:


Countertops have also been installed in the bathrooms (the master bath tub has finally been installed, too):

 

Outside again, painters are prepping so next week our new home should have it’s colors!

Kitchen cabinets and so much more

It’s been a huge week for our new home at Independence! A week ago we had plastered sheetrock; now we have painted walls, tiled floors and bathrooms, and cabinets installed in the kitchen and bathrooms! We even have a partial driveway outside.

Kitchen cabinets look good; they will look better still in a couple weeks when the countertops are added …


Elsewhere, tiling downstairs is almost complete and tiling is progressing well in the bathrooms too:

 

It’s starting to look like a home now!

The interior paint is quite plain, and less yellow than it looks in the camera!

 

Meanwhile outside, crew prepare for the driveway, cutting away the kerbing and laying concrete frames for the driveway ramp and walkway across our property:


We’d expected to see kitchen cabinets being installed today too, but not yet …
