Roof and windows

The house is coming along. The roof was done last week. the windows were installed yesterday in the down pouring rain. 

The roofers started today in hopes of finishing for our next round of rain. I heard rumors from Trevor that our siding is in and they were waiting for the windows to be installed.

Plumbing is all roughed in and the electrical starts on Monday. Thankfully the house is almost closed in so all this rain won't be a problem anymore.

timbers arrived today

I know two blogs in one day. There was a lot going on today. I came home from Shopping and the timbers for the main entry had arrived and boy are they pretty.

The walls are done and the roof is coming along nicely.

Bathroom and kitchen ideas

I meant with the plumbing fixture people today. I came home with a bunch of options and I am sure a couple of thousands of dollars. I had no idea you could spend $800 on a kitchen faucet. Sorry for the bad quality pics. I forgot my camera and used my cell phone.

I really liked this tumbled slate back splash

Kitchen sink

Kyle wanted a unique sink for the master bathroom and this is what I came up with.

The picture doesn't do it justice. 

The way to a woman's happiness is a really big soaker tub.

A floor sample

Below is a sample of the flooring that I really like. It is larch wood with an antique oil finish on it. I am getting it quoted from a local flooring company I have used for a couple of our renovations on our previous house. sitting at the bottom of the sample is a little sample of the Kitchen cupboards I have picked. They will be a knotty alder with an cappuccino finish.

All ties in nicely with the Knotty Alder soiled wood door I ordered.
