Interior work begins

Plumbing is complete. HVAC is 99% complete and electric is almost there. After we complete the rough in for everything, we will need the framers to come back and fur out some walls and ceilings to hide a few pipes/ducts/wires/etc. After that, we're on to insulation and drywall!

The fireplace is installed and the vent pipe run. The recess for the TV is now built in as well.

Above are just a few more shots of the interior- to the left is a bedroom, complete with sliding glass door out to a front porch and to the right is the third floor loft area, overlooking the living room.

Exterior finish- finished?

We have waited through what seemed like a life-time of rain but the exterior siding and the roof are finally complete- or almost. We're missing a plank here or there but that is only because of issues we have had with waiting for brackets (last minute addition by the engineer) and doors (this is only the third time we have sent them back...but we're not bitter, honest!).

Now that the exterior is 99% complete, we're ready to move inside!

P.S. At long last we provide a pic of the west elevation (back of the house). You can't complain when your house looks this good- even from the back.
