Garage doors

We have garage doors and outside lights!  The garage has been sheet rocked.  The doors and outside lights have also been installed.  They are finishing some siding and roofing that was left over.  Our last main window has been installed along with the white washed pine ceiling but I don't have any pictures yet.  Hopefully will go up and take some pictures soon and get them uploaded.  We are currently working on picking out tile as well as shower fixtures.  Any input on shower fixtures, brand, style, what is best/worst would be greatly appreciated!!  Here are the updated pictures:

Updated pictures

Here are some updated pictures of the progress on the house:










Master bathtub

I have been looking for a cast iron clawfoot tub for the master bath but didn't want to spenda ton of money for one that I would probably have to have reglazed anyhow.  After showing our friend Brad Hepler the house and discussing which stone we wanted from his quarry, I mentioned that I was looking for a tub.  It just so happened that a friend of his had just pulled out a vintage clawfoot tub that was in need of a little TLC.  I was able to get the tub for the price of a case of beer and contacted a company in Scranton that quoted me for reglazing it.  The tub has a stamp on the bottom of it that says, "Built Nov. 7. 1923 U.S."  I was so excited to add this piece to our antique vanity and hutch that will be in the bathroom as well.  Here is a picture of the tub, pre-glazing:

Outside lights

For outdoor lighting, we originally wanted propane lanterns on either side of our front door.  Unfortunately, the COG office does not allow these type of lanterns according to the local code.  So that left us with choosing a typical electrical light.  We still wanted the look of the lanterns on either side of the front door.  These is what we chose:
