It's amazing how much of an impact items have when you get toward the end of a remodeling or an addition. The items here at the end are the visual ... the outward appearance of all the good things that have been building up to this moment!
We have granite countertops. Cabinets. Tile floors. Painted walls. Lights everywhere (with electricity to come). Thermostats. Ceiling fans. Shower door. Vanity tops. Faucets.
Literally, when I walked in the house last night ... it was a steady procession of "whoa ... wait, whoa! Look over there ... whoa! Awesome ... exciting ... doesn't this look good? WHOA!"
Pictures to come. You'll just have to wait.

Movin' Right Along
Progress just keeps coming ... one thing after another!
Tile is gone from the kitchen ... goodbye white and blue. Here comes travertine (the only place in the house where we could afford it ... in little squares!) =8^]
Leah's shower has been templated out for the frameless glass. Tile for gathering room and paint are up next. Cabinets and carpet are on the way.
It's very cool.

Where has the time gone?
Yes, it's been a while since the last post. Things have progressed so quickly, it's been tough to keep up! And we've been shopping for everything under the sun. Bathroom tile, countertops, granite, carpet, lights ... you name it! Exciting!
Here's some of the latest photos. Basically, we have sheetrock and trim up, and the tile in Leah's bathroom is well underway and almost done (no grout yet). We'll have to take photos of that soon.
Metal roofing on front and back porches is progressing piecemeal. It is really shaping up!
Before you know it, we'll be done! Woo-hoo!

Like a hazmat area
Our project continues to move along at a good clip. Doors, windows are all in. Plumbing (pipes, drains, etc.) and electrical wiring and subpanel are in.
Today was insulation. And somehow our general contractor has our doors tied into the alarm system. Very cool.
Next up is sheetrock. In an effort to keep the dust at bay, we have two huge sheets of plastic up to seal off the new construction from the old. Our breakfast area looks like a scene from E.T. (when he was dying at the end) or one of those scary biohazard movies when something is dangerously wrong (for those of you too young to remember E.T., which is a shame in itself.)
Once the sheetrock is in place, I'll take another round of pictures. Veda took some today for me before the insulation got put in so I'll remember where all the wires are.
