This week is all about the various trades coming in, from the electrician (whose team was wiring away today,) to the TV/AV wiring team, to the plumber coming Thursday, and the roofer beginning this week. We met with the electrician yesterday and his team of 7 (?) was in full swing today.
Today we also walked through the house with the cabinet guys. The last time we met with them, John and I asked the cabinet guys to include some extras like taking the cabinets in the kitchen and bar up to the ceiling, as well as paneling in the library. Since then we got the total for those extras and let’s just say some of the extras were a bit more than we want to spend. So with today’s walk through, we made some significant cuts on the nice to have elements that halved the overage costs.
The HVAC has obviously begun and some of the interior posts and beams have been framed out as well.
Dining room 
Beam & duct work 
Master bedroom 
Laundry room 
And finally the painters also painted all the trim and the chimney stucco, so the standing seam roof can begin this week.
Gotta love the pile of garbage in front of the house (*sigh*), and with the recent severe storms over the weekend, we lost a few cedar trees. Thankfully nothing damaged the house or barn construction.
Things are definitely hopping and it’s already been a busy week with house building decisions. Thanks for stopping by to check on our progress!!
Hugs, Libby
