House Progress: Movement over the weekend!

There was a lot of buzz on our street today! The only 2 houses on our street going up had 2 or 3 different work trucks outside each house today. Taylor's had gutters and who knows what else, we had a painter, the security system guy installing that and a guy there repairing our blacksplash that was broken when they wired for electrical that was missed. Also, this stuff happened over the weekend:

Shower door and glass was installed (the other 3 are tubs. which means shower curtains. and rugs. and towels. overwhelmed!)
Mirrors installed in all bathrooms! 
This is one 1/2 of the jack and jill bath that the boys will share. I think this will be Walker's sink.
The new wood has already been installed (which makes me wonder where he is with the wet bar wood! They wired for the under cabinet lighting too, which isn't easy when everything has already been tiled and such. But again, we ordered this stuff before sheet rock so they just have to figure it out I guess. Oh, and this picture reminds me that light switches went in (far left). :)
This was last week but the can lights were added to the living room. I have mentioned before how each worker makes a mess for another worker. There have been so many holes cut into the sheetrock to wire for all the lighting we ordered months ago but that they never got to before sheetrock (sigh). 
And most exciting, they are ready to pour concrete for our driveway, sidewalks and walk up! We requested that they extended the width of the driveway to make a little bit more room for our big cars and they agreed to it. But of course, it wasn't set that way. Hopefully they'll make it happen before they pour the concrete - eek!
Hopefully I'll be updating this blog with pictures of concrete, light fixtures (although we're replacing most of them with fixtures my sister has picked out) and some door knobs. Not that you want to see that stuff but it will mean we are progressing!
