More progress

The eyebrow on the front porch has been completed and the roof has been sealed. 




The garage footers have been poured.  It will be a 3 car garage with an extra 1/2 car garage for the buggy.



The doors leading out to the screened porch have been added.
The curved floor in the great room has been completed.  There will be a railing along the curve and you will be able to see downstairs.



Here's a good view of the curved floor from the downstairs.  The stairs were added as well this week. 

They also have started to work on the geothermal unit and have started to insert plastic in the ceilings so they can start spraying the foam insulation.  We were hoping that the SIP panels would get here so they could insert the arched windows, but no such luck.  We also purchased the cabinets.  We had 3 different options but ended up going with Brookwood cabinets from Directbuy.  Each week, you can definitely see a lot of progression from Monday to Friday.

Windows

Physically, things haven't seemed to change a whole lot with the house in the past week and half until the very end of this week.  Our windows arrived at the beginning of the week and 3/4 of them were put into place yesterday and today.  It's really starting to take shape and look like a complete house.  We're still missing the main arched windows in the front and the back of the house, but as soon as the SIP panels arrive next week, the arched windows will be set into place.  Here are some pictures of the windows that have been put into place so far.
 Pictured above is the crew working on the eyebrow part of the roof for the front porch.
 Pictured above is Kaleb's room with it's new windows.
 Pictured on the far right is the master bedroom on stilts.  Most windows are installed on back with the exception of the windows/arched windows in the great room.
