Mid-March Madness

We've been making a lot of progress on things, but the house "look" hasn't changed much in a couple of weeks. I'll post some recent pics soon. In the mean time, we've finalized plans and hired subs for the following.
  • Insulation (ecobatt plus 1 inch spray foam)
  • Drywall (typical)
  • Some finish framing
  • Some of the flooring (HW on main, carpet on bedroom wings, tile in bathrooms)
  • Much of the finish plumbing
In theory, we're ready for rough-in inspections on plumbing and electric next week (fingers crossed). And siding is going up soon...next week?

Insanity.

Better idea of exterior look and feel

Here's a new rendering of the house. The dark metal siding color (upper part) is set, and we're planning on a moderately light, moderately neutral color for the main/lower house. We're still trying to figure out where to put some color accent(s).


Rendering also posted at the PMa site. :-)

Goings on

Hey folks -- sorry for the radio silence. It's been a busy couple of weeks. Exterior framing is done and interior framing is ongoing. Tar paper is going onto the house in advance of siding. Windows are to be installed 3/2 and 3/3.

Yesterday, we picked out a bunch of fixtures for bathrooms. Check it out!

We're putting Duravit D-Code all over the house: 6 bathroom sinks, 1 bathtub, 2 shower trays: http://www.duravit.us/products/series/d-code-lfli6y5hby.html

We're putting Kohler Oblo faucets in several places:

Exciting, eh?

We were at the site yesterday. I'll try to post some pics soon.

More Framing

Some walls for our master suite and the front closet. Oh, and an entire week of sunny weather for the framing team. Yay!
