Weeks 10, 11, 12 - A lot of finishing work and wrong carpet installed in half of the house....HOW???

So sorry for slacking on the blog!!!  Christmas was a busy busy time! So here are the updates for the last 3 weeks:
Week 10 - December 12 - December 16
Week 11 - December 19- December 23
Week 12 - December 26- December 30

The blogs will be slower now as not as much is being changed on a daily basis.  Just little things.  Since they are starting to install the pricier items, they are also locking the house at night. BOOO!  We need to make appointments to see the place now if we can't go in the middle of the day when workers are around.  Frustrating.

Before I get into the updates, I know you like the drama so I will give you that first. From a blog way back, I wrote about our carpet selections.  The carpet in our package was white.  We are too messy for that and needed a carpet with some color.  We upgraded and paid for all new carpet.  For some reason this was missed on our Master Selection Sheets.  We did find the error and they hand wrote in the correct carpet color, but of course they installed wrong carpet in half of our house.  They installed the correct carpet on the 1st and 2nd levels and the incorrect carpet in the basement.  The carpet was installed on December 21st and was fixed by the new year.  What a costly mistake!!
 I know this picture is hard to see because the CORRECT carpet in the family room is all covered up.
This is the carpet close up.
