house update

i was down in boerne, tx for a project meeting (we are designing a road down there, that i am in charge of, uh oh, death are coming). here are some updated pics of the house sorry these are out of order. also i have no idea why this is underlined, that isnt even a font option. i feel like an old lady trying to put a floppy disk into a usb port, derp.front guest room

Slow Progress

More Cabinets

This is the glass block window in the master bath, the study, and the powder room cabinet.

Cabinets

The cabinets are in except the kitchen. They will be stained off sight and then brought over and installed. Not sure why but the other ones look really good. This is the master closet built-ins and one of the guests room closet.

Stonework

This was all completed in a week! We are still waiting for the front door delivery and the replacement windows. The stonework on the front of the house cannot be completed until the front door is in place.

Sheetrock

When we arrived the front door area was all boarded up which I thought was odd but apparently raccoons had enjoyed the benefits of your fathers generousity. He bought some juice drinks and left them for the workers and the raccoons thought they were for them...simple mistake. The front door will be delivered in a couple of weeks. I'm a little nervous about that decision but we will see. They cannot complete the stone until the door and replacement windows are in place. The sheetrock is complete and it really changes the total look. Now comes the hard part...paint, fixtures, lights etc.

They have finished the geothermal installation without incident...not so with the windows. They have installed the windows but will have to replace all the back windows because they are not suppose to have a top grille. I'm sure this is the first of many "oops".

...pavilion

One of the workers brought his kids with him they were wrestling in the truck.

Stone and Roof

Misc.

They have the stone on the 2 fireplaces but they

are still waiting for the delivery of the metal roof

sections. They are suppose to get started on Mon.

The geothermal air conditioning/heating system

is being installed. Each room will actually have

an intake and output but they are small and hope-

fully will not be an eyesore!

This is the cedarplanking under the front porch

overhang. It's hard to really see but it looks nice.

This is the framing for the lower level patio uncovered.
They will pour the concrete at the same time they pour
the pavilion concrete area down by the water.

Wired

There are wires everywhere. Kind of scary.
The electrician hard at work.

Preparing to rock the chimney.

We have a tub in the back bedroom.

They are preparing to pour the slab for the uncovered patio.

Not sure how this is going to work but your dad really wanted it.

Roofing Stages

They have almost completed the solar board

on the roof. The next step is the black felt paper

and then the metal.

The builder set up a sample wall for the stone.

It needs a little tweeking but we're getting there.

Compost pile

Roof is going up

View from the front of the house

The stairs in the garage going up to the game room. We will probably put some beds up there and the grandkids can sleep up there when they get older.

They have started building the fire place in the family room.

Siding goes up

View across the garage.

Dad went by yesterday on his way to Laredo and took these pics with his i-phone that he hates. They have finished framing and started with the siding. I guess the roof will be next? Not sure of the process yet but its looking more like a house and the garage is the only thing that really looks big (huge!). Dad will have it full in no time.
