On Monday, I made it out to the house after work. The brickers had been there to finish off the arch modifications and to support moving an outlet. In the meantime the last of the forms for the concrete were put in as well as the supporting rebar. Some light interior work also went on which I mostly didn't take pictures of (second coat of paint in the garage, some polish on the granite, veneer on the railings).
I hadn't taken this a picture from this location in a while so I thought I would. This is from the tree on the northeast corner. Basically all that's left on the outside of the house now is pouring concrete and seeding (and a couple minor things).
How did the water cross the sidewalk? A little French drain.
Forms for concrete pads on the west side of the house. The closer one is for propane, the one further back is for the air exchangers.
Forms for a little pad outside the basement door. Eventually this will expand when we build the deck, but that'll be a while.
Another view of the basement forms and the forms for the garage stoop.
We're going to eventually have lights out by the driveway entrance controllable from the foyer so wiring is running underneath the sidewalk.
If you look for the off colored brick you can see where the outlet originally was (about chest high).
Some panels on the master tub. They're supposed to be doors, however, for access to controls and shutoff and such.
The stained great room floor and stairs. The stain color is English Chestnut. This (and all the floor stain pictures) were taken leaning into the front door as we can't walk on the floor for a while.
The dining room floor.
Looking across the great room.
The driveway was graded and crushed stone began to be put down (by the garage), but then a rather large rain storm came up. Not so conveniently while I was there making a small change on a corner of the driveway.
From Monday - the ridge was stained and the dormer was painted.
The outside units for the air conditioners were installed on Tuesday (no inside pics - mud + stained floors),
On Monday, I also noticed that electrical boxes were put in on the kitchen island.
On Monday, we also took some "family" shots on the front porch. From left to right: Fritz, Preethi, Silver.
And here's Fritz, me, and Silver.
