I figured it's about time for another update. Unfortunately, the snow over the past week hasn't helped much. In parts of Issaquah, it's only beginning to melt.


However, the house is coming along nicely. Over the past 2 weeks, we've had the garage door openers installed. After installing light bulbs and programming all the remotes, it's all set to go. No more worrying about the garage. GarageTech, who installed the openers, did such a good job, it's hard to imagine that I'll ever try to do them myself again. I've tried installing garage doors and openers at 2 other homes before, and it was comedic.

We decided to do away with the parquet floors in the kitchen and entry, so we went and bought laminate wood floors that gave the home a really nice, clean, and bright look.

Luckily for us, the wood floors were on sale, and we saved a ton over regular price. I've personally installed laminate wood in 5 homes, so this one was relatively easy since we were only covering about 300 square feet of living space.

So far, we've been lucky enough to get both flooring, various installation, and appliances at a major discount.

We got our millwork delivered and is ready to be installed. As soon as all the snow melts, we'll have some workers out at the house. Carpets and laminate countertops have been ordered. Now we're just waiting for people to install them.

One thing I'll have to do on my own (with Jordan's help) is install vinyl flooring in the bathrooms. And we'll have to do that before the millwork guys put in the base trim.

I'll try to update with more pics soon.
