How time (2.5 months) flies when you are having fun!

Well, it has been 2 and a half months since the last update, so I thought that the end of the year was an appropriate time to post again...

Here is the master-bath jetted tub framed out.




You can see here that we have windows in and rough-plumbing done finally!



Wow! Rough electric is in, framing is done, and the HVAC guys have run all the insulated duct work! Oh, and pre-wired for 7.1 Surround Sound...




The white PVC pipe is part of the whole-house central vacuum system... No more lugging around the Hoover :)




We Have POWER!!!!!!!!!!!




Recessed lights and in-ceiling speakers will make this covered porch excellent for parties!





Here you can see our wood-burning fireplace in the great room. The cozy warmth and glow of a fire will definitely make this a gathering place...






French doors are finally installed, and they were worth the wait. Don't they look amazing?







Wow, siding is up! It only took the guys three days for the main siding, and another 5 for all the trim work. Oh, and we have gutters! No more lakes in the yard...








Drywall is in!!!!!!!!!! This is a huge leap forward, because now you can really see the size of the rooms. This is the West wall of my three car garage.






Here is a shot of the North guest suite, with the edge of the bathtub showing.







Uh, yeah, it snowed over Christmas for the first time in 17 years! And we were not here to see it. D'OH! This was taken a few days later. There is around 3" accumulated, and we start priming today...




Here you can see out the French doors to the snowy white outdoors. Texturing is done, so we are ready for priming and paint.







Here is the South wall of great room, with the fireplace. The HUGE TV is going to go on the right side in a built-in entertainment center, and bookcases will be on the left. Next update should have painted rooms!
