Plumbing Done

This last week the plumber installed all of the fixtures.  In addition, the under-cabinet lights have been put in place.  So the kitchen is looking even more like we could use it.  Except, the hardwood floor needs to be sanded, stained, and finished.  That is scheduled to be done next week.  Then the stove, dishwasher and refrigerator can be put in place.

Even though the medicine cabinet is still missing, the bathroom is looking more useable.  This is the view through the guest bedroom pocket door. David picked the faucet for the vanity, a model called "The Wave."  Our contractor selected the toilet style, which has its own flair.

I won't bore you with multiple pictures to show the shower, Jacuzzi tub, cedar shelves.  You will just have to come and visit us.

Also, you will notice with all the pictures have some kind of construction tools or supplies. 

The built-in library wall is almost done.  If you knew where to look, you would see missing pieces on the trim.  Our contractor has had trouble getting certain kinds of finish quality wood trim.

The cedar planks stacked up on the floor are drying out before being installed on the pillars for the front porch.

In the Great Room, the media wall is looking even better now that the "living edge" cedar plank has been installed on the half-wall.  The cedar shelves in the component box are quite dramatic. 

The door on the right, with the unfinished sides, goes out to my office.  They will install it after most of the construction work is finished.

The double mantels are in place over the fireplace.  They were originally intended to be "live edge" like the one in front of the media wall.  But during the construction, the good edge was badly damaged. Rather than throw out the wood, we decided to revise the plan and have them squared off. 

The LP gas company has to come and do the final installation of the gas line to the fireplace, as well as the stove in the kitchen.  Then the fireplace company will finish installing the front trim.  It should be done in time for air conditioning season.

But the most exciting thing is that our water heater has finally been installed after having no hot water for five months.  Doesn't it look wonderful?
