Another wonderful day on house progress.  Bricking is ALMOST done... should be completed tomorrow!  Sheet rock is also on schedule to be finished by this weekend.  

Rich and I met with the builder to talk about things to come... expecting garage doors next week, cabinets in a couple weeks, outside concrete for driveway, sidewalks etc.  soon as well.  AND.... he said the magic words barring any snags... "early December".  Now, I'm not going to be very excited yet BUT it was an original hope to be in for Christmas whether I get to decorate or not.  :-) And, Dec 15 is right about 60 days out or right about 9 more weeks of this. 

More brickwork on the side by the office.  That's one of the sheet rock guys in the garage.  They were popcorn spraying the ceiling in the garage.  That's the only place that will have the popcorn ceiling. 

The front side near the corner was finished, with keystones and our house number added.

A good view of the keystone.

The keystone over the dining room window and most of the porch was bricked.

This is a closeup view of our wavy pattern brick...

Another view of the brick...

The back bedroom from outside the house (they had the window open).

The keystone over my parking space...

And the one over Rich's...
