Bout time for an update

Alright, well things have been going somewhat slowly for the past couple weeks basically because it was time to put the roof on but weather was preventing it. Without the roof put on, insulation, electric, etc could not be installed without the chance of them getting ruined... or somebody getting electricuted :P Luckily this week the weather broke for long enough to do that and in the next few weeks things will really start to roll.

The head contractor/owner of Team constuction (the contracting company) had been on vacation for the past two weeks as well, but he returned this week and I think that will give the whole thing some momentum.

Insulation should be going in this Monday, so all the wiring and other things that are in the walls like duct work need to be complete this week.

The back concrete wall has been constructed. It doesn't look quite as nice as I would've liked really... but we'll see how it looks once the siding's up and all that. I can always paint it or put a mural on it or something:



The skylights have been put in and look really nice. The sides of them on the short sides are angled to the ceiling to bring more light in. There are two in the kitchen, two in the livingroom and then one in the second bathroom (it couldn't have any windows, so a skylight was kind of necessary).



I've also got some new pictures of the windows and sliding glass doors. The mil-finish aluminum is really nice and I'm glad I spent the extra money on it.



Oh yeah... and last week I got my kitchen and second bathroom cabinets and plumbing shit from Ikea. The kitchen cabinets doors are stainless steel and the bathroom stuff is aluminum and frosted glass. Gonna be really nice :)

And for the end of this, here's a video of me sticking my head out the top of one of the skylights and scanning around the roof. Unfortunately the skylights can't be opened for going on the roof once it's done or anything... but oh well, a roof deck is definitely in the future plans category.
