Electrical and plumbing...almost



Tracy came over and swept out the main floor the other day - Thanks, Mama! We have wires traveling places, and the kitchen floor has been marked for cabinets and appliances. The plumber and electrician should be done this week. Then we'll do the acid stain on the floors, seal, and cover for the rest of the workmen. Drywall, tape and texture, and Mom and Dad should be here. Then comes the real fun!

More pictures...












Dad - see the bottom of the porch? And that's the closet upstairs that hides the flu pipe (?). Mom, we added the windows by the front door because it seemed too dark.

Meet the roof...Say hi to the front door!












Lots of pictures...not so many words.

Of shingles, tubs, and columns...





How can you NOT be excited? The views from the porch are amazing! I can't wait to relax in the tub, and I'm dying to see the shingles in place. It's 7:49 pm and with our new daylight savings time, Andy is determined to caulk around the entire house. ( You have to have been in the Flagstaff house to appreciate why that is necessary.) He says I'll get my chance to help caulk (yea!), but he's giving me the night off because I'm on spring break. (Oh yeah, remember to read with a HUGE sense of humor.)

Windows!












Here are those pictures with windows, Mom. Also, Dad, here's a picture of one of the 2 air systems. One is positioned over the kitchen, the other over the office/hall on the master side.

Patio




Here are some pictures of the house with the back patio and the walls around the stairs up in the bonus room. We have windows in...I'll take those and add them later.

Almost closed in...










Now taking reservations... picture a railing on the porch, a little grass in the backyard. If we were trying to sell it, we would say 5 bedroom, 3 bath. But the upstairs will probably be a game/media room eventually with a wet bar and big screen. That room may be waiting to be finished, though. I still can't decide how to do the floor - wood laminate or carpet. We were debating about a metal roof, but are thinking that we will go for shingles. I am worried about color coordination between the stucco, rock facing, and roof. Mom has that eye for things, but I just can't picture it all together in BIG size. The guest rooms are on the front of the house, closest to the garage. The closets are VERY spacious. My laundry room is HUGE! Going to have to do some serious planning so that it isn't wasted space. It's perfect, though, for storage of extra food stuff, pet items, and cleaning supplies. Andy has mentioned that I need to start packing things (although I think it may be a couple of months, yet). I will be having a large yard sale...things that I haven't needed in the last year (really not needed, not just didn't have space for).
