Mill Dam Farms - January

Finished up the base coat of stucco

Drywall is delivered

We were not thrilled with how the architect designed the kitchen.   We asked for enough room for a 10 person kitchen table since we eliminated the dining room, but didn't realize that he didn't do it until the house was being built.  We had already moved the Game Room wall a foot, now we were evaluating the size of the kitchen island.

Measuring out the island

Decided to reduce the island a foot from the plan of a 5x8
This would allow more walking room around the table

Second meeting with Cassie & Ben to re-evaluate plumbing fixtures

One day I walked in and all the ceiling insulation was on the ground

Apparently they placed it before the inspection, so it had to be re-done
