Hardwood floors are finished

The hardwoods were sanded and clear coated this week. The installation finished on Tuesday and they promptly stained them after sanding. The polyurethane was applied Wednesday,Thursday and Friday nights.
I came home from Rhode Island Friday night to find them still wet from the third coat.They are really shiny in the pictures due to not being dry but, they dried with much more of dull finish which we like.
We have experienced the "WOW" factor a lot during this project and the floors are another big "WOW" !
 
This project is winding down. Looks like this week will be all about getting some of the finish punch list done. Molding,paint,grouting,light fixtures,hardware etc. There is a deck getting built sometime before this ends so im guessing that's the week after when its a complete wrap.
Stay tuned....

Even more changes today

Today the dishwasher and faucets were installed along with about 1/3 of the hardwood floors.
When we first started working with Dwight to design the kitchen he suggested a back splash that would"pop" when you see it. Today when I walked in from work and saw the newly installed back splash it sure "popped" for me.It really looks great and after grouting tomorrow it should be awesome ! Great choice Roo
Tomorrow should bring installation of the rest of the appliances and hardwood.

Granite is here !

I came home from a project at the lake and was surprised to see the granite countertop was installed a week early! It looks great. Its a darker color and the natural silvers embedded really stand out when the light hits them .I call them silver but im sure all the "women" will correct me if I say it in from of them.
