Some Promised Pictures

Lately the posts have been lacking the visual aspect of a good blog. Here are some of the latest pictures we have of the house.  We took a TON of pictures to document locations of wires and plumbing.  Maybe they will come in handy in the future.

On a side note, we've walked this house several times.  For about an hour I walked every room from every angle imaginable and there are absolutely no floor squeaks.  Ryan did the glue-nail-screw method and it seems to work well.

On to pictures.  Enjoy!

Entire front of house.  They installed the garage door and a temporary front door.  Also had drywall delivered yesterday.  

Front of house.  Ready for brick.

Front at the future porch.  I like the recessed lights.

Front of house at garage.  I think the electric box at the bottom is for the lamp post.

Garage with the electric panel.  Thanks Ryan for getting this situation fixed.

Kitchen wall against garage.

The rest of the wall that will have the built-in work desk.

Plumbing between great room and powder room.

From the office looking into the dining room and garage beyond.  Ryan does a great job in the dining room of putting the electric boxes horizontal and below the future mouldings.

From the front bedroom to the bonus room.  The bonus room is going to be yuge for us.  Note the blocking is way too low for our future TV.  Having the PM take care of that.

From the bonus room looking to the laundry.  Still waiting for the floor drain to be moved.

Lots of plumbing in the master bath.  The reason they run the water lines so close to the edge of the stud is to avoid bends in the pipe when they need to get around the drains.  Makes sense as you don't want those pipes rubbing on the wood.

Boy's bathroom.  My pet peeve is hard to see but it's about half-way up on the left.  They stubbed out 2x4s to give an outlet box a place to be nailed.  That stud turns so easily just plugging something into that outlet will push the entire box into the wall.  It's a crap job that has yet to be fixed.
