Lots of progress today. The drywallers came and taped all the seams in the drywall. The stucco guys came and put the first cut of stucco on the outside. So things are moving right along! Apparently the drywalling will take place in phases. They have to put the mud (or whatever you call it) all over the drywall, let it dry, do it again. It's almost like a thin coat of plaster on the drywall. They also need to retexture the master bedroom shear wall; but since we had chintzed out on the master bedroom and gone with a light skip texturing, it won't be as much work to get that in shape. They've also fixed the hole in the master bathroom ceiling. It's a good thing that we saved all the master bedroom paints, because one of the walls is green and would have been hard to match.
Over the weekend I got nine samples of paint and painted the outside wall in an attempt to settle on an exterior paint color. I've narrowed it down to five choices, but I don't have the mental energy to make any more decisions, especially one so important as this. I'm going to let our architect have the final say. Or maybe I'll take a vote. I sure don't know. We only have one more decision -- the carpet -- and then we're DONE! I think.
Moving day is Saturday, and we'll have to have everything out of the scraper by then. It looks like the garage cabinets will be installed by then, so we should have a spot for the furniture.
