More Beautiful Crown Molding.....

The guys continue their crown molding work.   They worked on the molding in the master bathroom today.  It is so beautiful with the vaulted ceiling!  Interior tile guy was here and worked more on the master bath shower.  The roofing guys got more of their work done.  The exterior stone guys formed our first stone column for the front porch.  Looks great!  More exterior hardi siding was hung today.  We are having some issues with the front stairs, etc.  We thought we were getting tiled steps with the stone carried on the side.  They are saying that it is an "added expense"...We keep hearing "added expense"..well...there are no funds for "added expense"...it's very frustrating!  Now they say we are going to have front wood steps that are open on the side...well, then...the stone has to be carried across the front of the house, under the stairs.  There is no other alternative that will look right.  Oh, how we are so ready to get this done.  Thank goodness they are building quickly...I just don't think I would have mentally lasted thru a 6-9 month house build!
