After Pictures

Here is a link to some after pictures. I need to take some more and then will add them.

Second Story

Finished

So the house has been finished for a while. We need to get a good set of "after" pictures to post but until then here are a few of the exterior:

Lots of Progress

There has been lots of progress since the last update. The Bathrooms are pretty close to being finished, all the rooms are painted, the hardwood floors are being refinshed, most of the light fixtures are hung......Here are some pictures.

The brick on the front is complete:

Windows

The second story windows have been installed. We are very pleased with them.

Furnace

Next milestone - we have a Furnace! They finished installing it yesterday. Today they are finishing up the remaining rework on the existing furnace vents in the basement. They are hoping to call for HVAC inspection today or Monday. Supposedly the Electrician should be finished on Monday as well. He has been pretty sick so I don't know if that will happen or not. Hopefully he will finish sometime next week so they can get the Framing, Electrical and Plumbing inspections completed. Regardless things are progressing quite nicely.


Here is a shot of our new furnace up in the rafters:

Stairs and a Roof!

So the stairs were installed about a week ago. Colin is thrilled because it means I am not insisting on climbing up the ladder to see the progress (I only did that once....but he really did not like it). Anyway, it is great to be able to get up there and see everything. Here is a shot of the stairs.

The other main thing to report is the Roof. We have one! A crane had to assist in the placement of the trusses. It was quite a sight. After the trusses were placed the roof went on really quickly. It is great to have the roof for a few reasons....it is going to help keep the weather out and we are able to get a pretty good feel for the rooms now that there is a "ceiling". Here are some pictures and a link to a larger set of pics.

Here is a link to a collection of pictures of the framing process.
