The Windows are Installed

Almost all the windows are installed.  Only one window on the back top floor is not installed.

Crews have been busy installing electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling ducts.

I am practicing for my future tub location.  I can't wait for my first soak in the big tub. :-)

Friends and Family

My friend Olivia came up from Eugene to visit for the weekend (3/14/09).  While she was visiting my parents stopped by and we all checked out the house.

The basement floor is now concrete, and covered in paper.  I assume to protect it while it cures?

We now have stairs to the basement (in the far left side of the image).

We are all standing in what will be the garage.  They crew has been busy installing the flashing and backfilling this area with rock.

This is the view from the upstairs landing down to the main floor.  The temporary work bench in the corner is the future home of the real wood burning fireplace.

The Top Floor is Going Up

The two guest bedrooms will be in the front of the house.

Our bedroom will be in the back of the house over the kitchen and storage area.  I am standing in the master bathroom.

This is the view from our bedroom.  It will be fun to watch the changing seasons from here.

The builder and draftsman suggested this area be open to below.  Great suggestion!  It will have a railing in the future.  The fire place will be in the far corner near the window.
