We have insulation



We got insulation last week. They did a foam blown layer on all of the outer walls then did the bat on top of that. Now the house is a lot warmer.

Holy Snow!!!






We woke up this morning with a foot of snow!!! Ya, I went to workout yesterday in the rain, and green grass. This all came yesterday after 11:00 AM. And it is still snowing. It is supposed to snow all day today as well. We may just get snowed in! Hopefully the roads will be better on Friday for all of our guests coming for Christmas!

Yesterday




So we got our fireplace installed yesterday. And they have done more wiring. I took a picture of the columns in our main area and our cool skylights they will be putting in someday. They should have done it last Thursday when it was scheduled, now they are going to have to fight with snow.

Wow!!! Tons of stuff going on today!!!







So today we got windows in, electrical galore, and a front porch! It was so fun to see the windows go in so fast and to see the porch pop on all of the sudden. I took pictures a couple of times today. And you can see the porch all of the sudden in the last picture. I just can't take enough pictures.

Plumbing


The plumbing is moving right along. We got our bath tubs yesterday. And we have ordered our super fun fireplace. The least exciting things with plumbing are the toilets. But I am very happy that we have them. :)
I am excited for when I can show you the whole house. I'll have to do a video and pictures. You could do a virtual tour. That could be kind of fun! But for now, I'll keep up with the random little steps along the way. I guess if I wanted to I could do a video walk through of it right now, hmmm, I'll have to think about that.

Here's the Heating


I'm sure glad that I don't have to get up on a ladder and put heat ducts in a 23 foot ceiling! Those poor guys. I really hope no one gets hurt in our super tall house.
We are excited that we will have air returns up in the peak of the ceiling. All of the heat will be up there so we may as well reuse the heat!

Lighting and Electrical are going in!
