The Housing Report: June 15

With electrical and low voltage going in this week, the house doesn't look much different than it did a few weeks ago. Until they start drywalling next week, I'm afraid there isn't much to tickle your fancy. But you can be the judge of that!

They've begun priming and painting the exterior.]

Our master bedroom closet and ladder to the attic.

The master bathroom with vanity wall in the background.

The second floor, vintage bathroom.

The lower level guest bedroom.

The lower level media room with foosball table area to your back upper right.

The lower level laundry room and mechanical room. They've begun drywalling the mechanical room with red plank tiles on the floor (though, you can't see them as they are being protected by paper.

A shot down the lower level hallway to the guest bathroom and crawl space under the new construction.

The newly dropped landing with repositioned window.

The hallway that leads past the powder room and pantry to the kitchen and family room.

The mounds of blowing cotton from our 120 year old cottonwood tree in our backyard. Seriously, it's everywhere!

Our new garage with cedar siding and new window (another window is on the right side). Lattice work that flanks the large front window is still to come.

A dark shot of the family room. The ceiling will be a grid ceiling, uplit, with ceiling fan in the center to cool the space down on hot days.

Our formal living room with newly opened entry - thus creating a more casual environment (nobody wanted grandma's formality).
