We are rolling right along ...

A lot of things have changed at the construction site in the last week ... these pictures will tell the story.

The sod is in ... and as the person who was potentially in charge of muddy paws ... I am grateful.



The lighting is also starting to go in.  Here's a photo of one of the carriage lamps on either side of the garage.


Although many of the fixtures are covered to prevent paint over-spray, I was able to capture some photos of a few of the interior lighting fixtures.

Ceiling fan in the great room.


Chandelier in the kitchen.


The cabinetry is being installed.  Cabinets are the 'furniture' of the kitchen so this feels like a really big step.  The stove and the fridge will go on this wall.


This is the bank of cabinets on the opposing wall.  The opening is for the dishwasher.


The cabinet for the sink was the wrong size.  I don't know anything about construction ... except ... a 36 inch sink will not fit in a 30 inch hole.  Thus, the cabinet for the farm sink had to be re-ordered.  I will, however, give you peek of my hammered copper farm sink.  This sink is so cool ... I won't mind washing the dishes!


The cabinet (electronic components will go in the niche) over the fireplace is coming together .. the primary elements have been assembled and a coat of white primer applied.


As I mentioned before the painter is on site ... he's doing cut in work on the walls and painting the trim and the doors.  This is the coffered ceiling in the master bedroom.


Interior doors ... standing at attention ... or maybe this is the optimal position when the paint is drying.


The plumbers are hard at work on the showers. This is a picture of the shower in the master bath. Note the bench seat on the right.


Downstairs in the basement, the lowers have been installed for the wetbar.  A knee hole fridge will go in the opening on the left.  When we sat down with the kitchen designer (6 months ago!), we had not accounted for the soffit.  Another thing I've learned about construction ... the duct work isn't going to move, so we had a do-over on the uppers.  Those will be here in about a week.
