Not for lack of progress...

It's been a while since we've sent a post, but the house has been moving forward! Electrical, Plumbing and HVAC...things Lynne REALLY loves! Okay, not really which is why these pictures may not be the most exciting you'll see. In the past few weeks workers have installed all the HVAC, electrical and plumbing.  The front stoop, back patio and driveway concrete was poured.  Siding is being installed as I type this. That's some major progress, but Lynne is holding out for the hardwood floors and tile. Now that stuff she does find interesting and therefore picture worthy.

The front of the house with the protective wrap.

The back side to which a garage door has been added. We never did figure out why that big piece of wood was pushed up against the back??

On the job plans to build from.

View of the kitchen with the island from the back entrance. You can see duct work on  the left wall and recessed light boxes in several spots in the ceiling. The little black boxes are for outlets.

The jumble of wires going to the indoor breaker box. We still can't believe it's common in Colorado to have the breaker box outside. Lynne's vivid imagination had her trudging through snow to flip a breaker and thus the decision to pay to have it inside.

The view from the office all the way through the walls to the back of the house. You can see the red and blue water lines. It won't be much longer before all of this will be dry wall.

The stacked washer and dryer plumbing. It looks so clean and modern compared to what we  grew up with.

The guest bedroom tub. For some reason this was brought in very early and they will cover it for protection before dry wall starts.

One more finishing touch complete - the mantel. Yes, it's that thin! But we can see it will be sturdy from the brackets they used to mount it.

After a few inspections we will move onto drywall. They are targeting the end of next week for that to begin. With it will come dust, but I'm sure we'll brave it to show you some pictures. Until the next step, Matthew
