Start of the Siding
Today we went by the house and we actually got to meet our future neighbors and, curiously, they're also a bi-racial couple, which I thought was cool since I haven't seen a lot of "variety" to start with.
Another nice surprise was that they have started the siding of our house and one of the sides is almost completely done!!!
Other new things are:
- They poured the cement in the garage.
- They poured the cement for the entry way (little porch).
- Finished all the electrical wiring, including the basement.
- Put in the 2 AC units (we purchased 2 so that, hopefully, we can save some money on the power bill down the road).
- Finished the deck's railing
- Started the basement's boards to attach the dry wall to.
We have the pre-drywall meeting on Tuesday and I can't wait to see how the house looks next week!!!

El dia de hoy fuimos a la casa de nuevo y nos toco conocer a nuestros futuros vecinos, y curiosamente tambien son una pareja de 2 razas diferentes, lo cual me parecio curada porque para empezar no hay mucha variedad aqui.
Otra sorpresa agradable fue que ya empezaron a poner el material que va a recubrir la casa (le dicen siding) y uno de los lados esta casi terminado!!!
Otras cosas nuevas son:
- Echaron el cemento en el garage.
- Echaron el cemento de la entrada de la casa (un porche chiquito).
- Terminaron el cableado electrico, incluyendo el sotano.
- Instalaron las 2 unidades para el aire acondicionado (decidimos comprar 2 para ahorrar electricidad en el futuro).
- Terminaron el barandal de la terraza.
- Empezaron a poner los "postes" para sostener el yeso de las paredes.
El martes tenemos la reunion anterior a que pongan las paredes y no puedo esperar a ver como va la casa la semana que viene!!!
