Much progress has been made!

The roof is on and the windows are in - I really like them!  They are Profinish Brickmold 600 windows that are very lightweight but have double strength glass.  Without the double strength glass they would be even lighter, but these are perfect for my needs.  I really like the way they look and operate so far.  They are priced extremely competitively yet open and close better than most.  My sister bought some and recommended that I try, very glad I did. The windows came from Dan at DnA Construction and highly recommend him!    dna4construction@yahoo.com

 

I laid in my loft and communed with the house.  We are happy together.  The Panoramic windows are on the way, ahead of schedule.  That means the house will be done soon.  Oh my!!!

The rough in wiring has been done. 

Next is the plumbing...

No tiny tub for me!  Can't do it.  We do have a small issue with the tub width, it is 32" and the post is at 30" but I think we can get beyond that.  Otherwise, I'll have to return the tub and find something 30" but I really don't want to. 

This is the same tub surround as I have.  Since they are pretty plain I plan to add something across the top of it like here in the picture to liven it up.  Except I only have 3 inches between the top and my master loft ceiling.

Here are some outside shots...

The front

Right now there is still scaffolding in place but it will be removed and a HUGE drawer will go under the kitchen floor for storage.  Or something along those lines.  There is a lot of space under there I plan to use.

 The back

I am now considering the possibility of putting some cabinets across the top of one of the doors.  There is a lot of space there and storage is important!

It is really crazy to see something I designed in my kitchen in real life.  Very cool but soon the actual work is about to begin for me when they are finished and deliver it.

Today we did the plan for the electrical and plumbing rough in.  Things are coming along nicely!!!

There were a lot of time consuming and very important details to go over but I won't bore you with them, it will all be seen when it is done.  

The hens like it too...

A little more...

A few pictures from earlier this week.  Things are coming along and it is probably a bit more complete but this is what I have for now....

We will be doing the electrical and plumbing layout next weekend.  I need to buy, or at least find, the shower pan and plumbing system for the shower so they can rough it in by next Saturday.  It's hard to choose.  I also need to think about lights, I want to do LED, of course, but I don't know much about it so it is time to learn. 

More pictures next weekend and it should have the windows - excluding the Panoramic systems and the slider.  I can hardly wait!!!!
