Let there be light!... And bookcases

A lot of progress in only a few days. The lights in some rooms were turned on so work can continue into the night. Bookcases and cabinets are about finished too.

Big progress in a couple days

Floors in in the first floor and all cabinets installed! Granite measurement tomorrow. Still hopeful for mid-December...

Almost there.. kind of

Sheetrock mostly hung

Garage door...  Check
80% of the house has Sheetrock hung... Check.

Foam!

Well, as of today we have insullation! This spray-foam insullation is cool - it is essentially air tight in the wall cavity and completely coats the inside of the roof. Kind of like being inside an igloo! The bricks are complete on 3 sides and looks like tommorrow they are planning to finish the patio. Crossing our fingers - Early November if we are lucky!

Late August - BRICKS!

After seeing the stacks of bricks round the house for about a month, it was a nice surprise to see them on the house! They are about 1/3 complete, but the final look of the house is starting to become clearer.

Also, the patio and porch areas now have their concrete base. Hope to see them covered in brick soon!

Mid-August...

Continue to see something new are the house each week, the AC airhandlers and water heater were added to the attic. We could start to see the bathrooms coming together also. The big Jacuzzi tub and (my favorite) the shower, complete with body-sprays, were roughed in. The boys were excited to see their bathtub as well!

Late July...

In late July, the house was "dry-in" and locked. The shingles are on the main roof (the garage roof will not go on until after bricks are complete). Electrical was mostly roughed in, the plumgin too, and the windows were installed. Thanks to a great suggestion from Dave, the downstairs bathroom had a cubby shelf added.

Almost closed

It has been a while since the last post on the blog, but a good bit of progress has been made. To catch up the blog, I'm posting a couple pics from each week that has past.

Here the roof is progressing while the house is just about closed in.

First floor framing

In just one day it is amazing to see how much the crew was able to accomplish. Essentially the entire first floow is framed. Sherry and I were able to walk through our house for the first time and really see the size and shape of all of the rooms.
