55" Toshiba LED 240hz 3D TV as the main living room TV viewed from the couches, and a wall-mounted 40" Samsung LCD TV as the secondary TV behind the living room bar! I'll go snap a few pictures in a bit...

Neon beer sign coming soon.

All in good time, I definitely plan to...I'd like to also wire in a Roku box for it, that could just be stuck to the back of the TV though.

Just saying it would suck to have a drunk kid rip it off the wall cause the cord was sticking out. Good luck!

Update for this week. The garage floor and front porch cement have been poured. Ceilings have been painted, initial coat of paint on the walls as well. The has all the doors hung, and is 95% done with the trim. The main level has about 80% of the doors hung, and about 30% of the trim installed. I'm assuming they'll finish up the trim work tomorrow, as well as take delivery of all the cabinets :)

Also, I went beyond their little excavation fence and started clearing out the mess of a back yard that was completely packed with various Poplar, Willow, and Bamboo all over. Cleared it out so it's much more open now. There's still a few more we may remove but it's a huge difference already as it is.

Should have built an ultralight house out of bamboo!!!!

Looks like a really nice house, I'll have to visit sometime after our weddings are over.

Update for this week:

Trim is fully installed, and varnished.
All cabinets are stained, sealed, and installed.
All bathroom counter tops (cultured marble) are installed.
Final coat of paint is done in the house
Siding on the front of the house is primered and mostly installed.
They also repaired some siding on the rear we noticed was damaged.

Also, since the garage is only minimally taped (only as much as required by fire code), my cousin and I did more mudding to it, and plan to paint the garage in the next week or so. He's a professional painter so he managed to get his hands on 10gal of leftover primer, and 10gal of a light beige paint for free. So that's the color it'll be painted I guess, can't argue with free!

We also locked in a rate at Wells Fargo for a 30yr fixed mortgage at 3.625% interest, can't beat that shit.

Builder is saying they want to try and close first week of June, but something tells me that's a little aggressive. I'm guessing mid June myself.

Pics attached.

Wow, getting close now!! I think they could have it done before the end of the month pretty easy. Mostly finishing touches and flooring now.

Re: House Projects
 
Flooring, lighting, install electrical outlets and switches and circuit breakers, plumbing fixtures, tile shower, appliances, kitchen counter tops, driveway, landscaping, garage doors, finish exterior siding and paint it, exterior stone, install air conditioner, install furnace, appraisal, final inspection. I dunno seems like a lot yet, but then again they never seize to surprise me.

That list right there should only take about 1.5 weeks, if they schedule properly...I think you'll be in there soon. I've worked on plenty of houses where the schedule was much tighter. It's looking great!
