Just a quick update because it’s pretty exciting to see a roof going on. Our house suddenly looks like a house and we’re anxiously awaiting the arrival of windows on Tuesday. The material picking continues with decisions on siding, roofing and trim, along with more interior bits getting ironed out. We may have a bit of rework to do on the orientation of the kids bathroom upstairs and I think we’re a couple of weeks from the work on the rough-ins getting started. We decided to scrap the original fireplace design in favour of a very cool tube-like free-standing stove that rotates. We were having trouble with how much space the fireplace was taking up in the living room and how to make the layout work. Much happier with the outcome with the free-standing version.
Our first hiccup this week with some trouble with the iron work on the back side of the house. I think its been sorted out with a different approach, and they are playing catch up with some of the other ironwork pieces needed for the porch posts. Still humming along though and our builder is making the most of our milder than usual winter weather.
More pictures to come when the windows are in next week!
