I have to say, the house is looking good. There were two major issues that are going to have to be fixed.
1) The box for the whole home audio on the exterior of the house is still located above and to the left of the kitchen door. The project manager told me he will make sure it is moved. Though it will involve opening drywall and pulling siding off the house.

2) The drywall on the stairs has a bow and a bad corner where it has completely separated from the studs. He had caught it and pointed out that a drywall crew would be out to repair and replace the bad spot. He did not prioritize the repair because it would have delayed the first coat of paint and the trim crews. I appreciate that. However, I have no clue how it happened. I did not ask. I did not take a photograph.
The vinyl floors have been installed in the kitchen, the laundry closet and the living room powder room. It looks good, especially with having bronze hardware for the doors. The kitchen cabinets were in the kitchen, along with the bathroom vanity. The kitchen cabinets look great with the vinyl floors. I am hoping that the granite will coordinate just as well.

The exterior siding is straight, and has no visible bows. The siding crew did a great job. Washington gas has installed the gas line, and has it aligned reasonably with the meter. Some houses the gas line is 3'-5' off from where the line into the house is. Then there is this long gas pipe between the meter and where the gas goes into the house. It looks really bad. Mine, while not as perfect as it could be is acceptable.
And finally, there is the issue of job site mud. I made a bad footwear choice, and below is the end result. My clutch petal got it worse than the gas and brake.

eeeeeks, mud! My poor clutch petal. |
