Posts having to do with the new Lake Wylie house
We went out to the site this morning to meet with Sonia. We were there to talk about the kitchen layout and to pick up cabinet samples. We’re picking out cabinetry for every room that needs it. When we arrived we saw a couple of vans with ladders on them pulling up. It seems that…
Last week we met the wife of the builder out at a plumbing supply store about twenty minutes away. Sonia is Chuck’s partner in business. He takes care of the outside and she handles the stuff on the inside. We wanted to start the process of picking out sinks and fixtures. It’s time to start…
Finally it looks as though we’re almost done with the framing. There looks to be a few odds and ends to finish on the inside, and the screened porch still needs to be framed, but you can tell that things have finally moved along. It’s pretty crazy how the house seems to get bigger the…
