We finished the baseboard trim, we had to re-install the trim where we installed the laminate floor, and we had to cut and install the baseboard on the marriage line. We also installed the laminate bars between the carpet/laminate and the laminate/vinyl floor.
We also got our marriage line doors finished - we had a lot of help on this, thankfully an experienced trimmer agreed to come and install them for us. They look great, and they would have taken me a week to figure out and install.
We began installing our towel bars in the bathrooms, this isn't necessarily something you think about when laying out your bathrooms, I wish I would have thought about it a little more before now. In our hall bathroom, we installed the towel bar, it is where you would imagine a towel bar, it looks good. I purchased towel bars that are 24" long, when your walls are 16" on center, it is difficult to find a stud for the towel bar to go into. We found a stud for one side (thankfully), and the other end we had to use drywall anchors. The master bathroom will be the same way, and the towel will be hanging closet to the bath tub, but not close to the shower (not the end of the world- but something to think about). If I would have thought about this before had, we could have requested backers for where we planned on install the towel bars, the curtain rods, the shower rod, etc. For a small fee, it would have been worth having the wood there to attach things to.
We are very close on the interior to being finished! We still need to install ceramic tile in the foyer, and we still need to paint the foyer. We need to install quarter round trim around the island and cabinets where we installed the laminate floor, and we have one carpet seam left to do and we should be pretty much finished inside.
The garage is scheduled to be built on Monday, and hopefully we can get the survey & electric company on the ball to get our electric going.
