Construction Update - Light News Day ... Humph!

Well, I feel like there isn't much to see today. The last two days have been slow as far as updates to the house Here are the photos I thought were noteworthy:

There were switches in many places in the house, but not all:

There were also plugs in various stages, and many were not even installed, but just sitting below the already-wired boxes:

The microwave was mostly installed today:

Light fixtures were installed in all the rooms upstairs:

The shared bathroom upstairs with the light fixture installed:

One thing I noticed was that all the lightbulbs are the compact fluorescent kind, which should save us on electrical bills. Julie doesn't know it yet, but I'm really excited about a product I found that allows us to run solar panels into a regular socket to offset electrical costs during the day. ;-)

That's it for now. I'll post again soon.

Construction Update - Trim!

This set of pictures shows that all the trim and doors are now being installed. Every step makes it feel more like a home. I was so surprised because they were able to trim out the entire house in a day!

Garage with some leftovers (I think from the trim above the fireplace):

Here is the hallway to the garage (door on the left). The door straight ahead is the laundry room and the door to the right is the 1/2 bathroom:

Standing in front of the front door looking at the fireplace, dining room, then kitchen:

Here's the other direction standing in the kitchen. Notice the crown molding. Nice!:

Here is a picture from the loft again, noticing the trim an doors, and the railing has been installed at the stairs:

More to come! Stay tuned.
