Lot's of activity and lots of decisions...

It is crazy how fast things seem to be moving now. They told me this would happen and it is true! Lots of decisions to make and things change daily. A delay in decisions could mean a delay in completion. Working on security system stuff, audio/video, lighting decisions, tile, etc. WHEW! This IS a full time job! It is lucky I am home for a bit so I can get stuff done and watch the rapid progress!

Windows going in every day.

From the north on 29th.
From the south.
Plumbing, electric, etc. all going in at once. Flurry of activity.
Green roof is not yet 'green'. Looking down on the garage/work out area.
When you see things like this it makes it all seem so real. Guest bathroom tub.
It's hard to capture how high the ceilings look. It is a massive space.
Tim is still in awe of his views. This is only from the second floor. Massive slider for a window.
The basement is a mess of wires, pipes, etc. Good thing we have a basement to hide all of this stuff.

After three weeks of being gone...

One of the first things I do is go check out the house. It was fun to see so much progress. Granted, it doesn't show so much on the outside, but they have been busy!

The windows happen to arrive right when I got there. They were late, but this is only the first 30% or so of them. We have LOTS of windows.

Everything is roughed in, so walking through I could see all the spaces a bit better. View from the rear.

Rough stairs to basement.
Lot's of electrical and plumbing is in.
As well as the radiant heat piping.
The main floor cement is poured, but covered by wood to keep 'clean'.
Holy house! I am always a bit overwhelmed after being there.

Evidence of plumbing.
You can see the structure for the fireplace. And wires everywhere in the walls.
