House Update!



The house is progressing but most of the progress has been in the inside. The above picture shows the current outside of the house. The trim work is all in place and the front porch is built. They are supposed to start painting the trim early this week and starting on the roof by the end of the week. Our shingles have been delivered so all that is delaying the roof is the trim painting. The brick and stone will be started as soon as the roof is finished.



As for the inside, the electrician, plumber, and HVAC man have all paid us visit. We did the walk through with the electrician on Saturday to mark outlets, cable jacks, phone lines, and light fixtures. The plumber has started putting in all of the pipes and drains. The furnace is in place and the duct work is about half way finished. Since the duct work is almost all in place, this brings us to the point were we will need to finish our framing project in basement and running of network cables for the speaker system and intercoms. Good Luck Scott! When we were working on the framing in the earlier stages the house was nice and cool, but I am afraid the second half of our project is going to me much sweater!



My major stress right now is deciding on cabinets. There are so many choices and they are so expensive. The kitchen design is such a big decision and everyone we meet with has their own opinion. Scott really doesn't want much involvement with this step. This leaves me with a lot of responsibility. Wish me luck!
