We have interior doors at the house; a few were hung late week. Siding is almost done. Here's a flickr album that shows some recent pics:
Exterior painting starts tomorrow, as does insulation inside.
Go, go, go!

Oh, I almost forgot...
On Monday, 6 inspections passed on the first try: plumbing, gas line, electric, low voltage, framing and HVAC. Holy moly! It's been a very good week.

Garthwick open house = smashing success!
Garthwick neighborhood, thank you for the wonderful welcome. Our open house was delightful. Many neighbors dropped by to see the space and meet our family. And the feedback was quite positive--many people seem to like the design and the space, and appreciate that we're making a positive change in the community.
Also, thanks to all of our friends who dropped by. I'm glad that y'all had a chance to see the house as well. Paul and Amy, it was great having you there. Many people were pleased to have a chance to meet the architect in person.
The event couldn't have gone better. I feel very happy. And very full of coffee.
Neighborhood open house today
We'll be at the house today 11-1 to host any curious neighbors who want to see the project. I hope we get decent show-up. I know there are curious neighbors out there...

UPDATED (more pics): Siding is on the house!
Actual siding is going up. Who-hoo! It looks very chic and grey...and definitely metallic. There will be no mistaking it for wood siding. We are capital M - Modern now.
Tres chic, no?

We are in over our heads...
Stream-of-consciousness update: windows, siding prep, tile picking, carpet ordering, doorknob picking, electric, plumbing, sinks and bathtubs, hardwood bids, insulation decisions, exterior lighting, interior lighting.
Coming up next: rough-in inspections on electric and plumbing, neighbor open house,
drying out house, insulation, drywall, siding, exterior painting. Oh, we have to pick out exterior paint color(s). Holy moly.
Andrew/Paul/Ryan, thanks for all of your help. We have to be nearing the halfway point, right? ;-)
I've uploaded tons of pictures for you to see the progress. Check it out.
Here's the latest picture taken of the exterior.
