Just another day of updates

Cabinets are finished other than counter top in kitchen. Stone 95% done so worth a couple of pics.
Railing color is nice so including a couple of those as well.
Met electrician on site just now and he said great your here. It seems Glenn wanted the bulbs changed in the 6 pot lights for music room. So electrician put one in while I was there with Larry and Deb. I hated the new ones, as Larry and Deb did as well. They are NOT LED so you may have to change and you would need to rent a ladder to get way up there. I text Glenn to say what I did. I really like the ones you had there. Pics below showing what I mean.

Looking good
Same color as stone in fireplace

Cabinets and stone appearance

Kitchen cabinets arrived and are being installed as well the main bathroom vanity. Had to take a couple more shots of the stone work as looking great and I think maybe 3 more days and then done. Electrician there and he has installed really nice fluoresent lights in garage + switches and plugs. Wiring for walkway light on wall waiting for grading and conduit.

Just need the sills to be placed for front to be complete
Working on garage side now
I may have spent the money and bought doors and drawers
in the main bathroom

Still working on it and the island has yet to be position properly

The stone work has started

Weather has improved to allow the mason to start the stonework. Some done yesterday until the storm came through. I am sure they will appreciate the mud on site. Just walked over this am and took some shots from dry Larry's side. I know multiple shots of the same but wanted to show Dave & Fran the formation of the stone as well as the mortar choice.

Sunny & Warm so went and took some more shots

Yes very warm here and high south winds. Guys in sweatshirts and t-shirts working. Eavestrough being installed and interior trim being painted. Stone arriving today and flooring for crawlspace being installed as well. The bad news is 5cm of snow forecasted for Monday. WTF!

View from the bridge
Tongue and grove cedar was on plan but builder and I think
the soffit would look better and also maintenance free
Higher quality camera and floor all covered

Exterior & interior update



Well weather turning nicer be only marginal but some siding has been done and some of the interior work is getting finished. A few shots today to show the Floridian's the status. The frost is coming out of the ground plus rain tomorrow so it will be a mud pit. I thought it was bad now so just wait. Siding is complete on 3 sides and only lakefront to do today as winds are only 15K from the N



Road front spare bedroom which is very bright
Love the angles
Standing on 4' of snow this shows shakes and side.
It goes very well with the trim color. Below the siding will be a brown stone.


Tough to get a shot as boots covered in mud and flooring being done. Dave would shoot me if I screwed up the floor.
Photo does not do it justice as looks much better in person.


Looking up to NEW shelf on music room wall.
It has to have a final coat of paint but the crown molding really sets it off.

Shows shelf as well as door and other trim which will be painted today

Dining room with new floor

As far as I could get in the house without getting undressed, bloody MUD!
