Weekend Update

I have gotten into a bad habit of waiting until it is dark to take pictures and then I have to use my flash which shows how dirty my camera lens is...so here are lots of pictures and ignore any spots on them! I was looking through the previous pictures and noticed that the crown molding was hard to see in the kitchen. So again, here is some of the black crown and there will be one more strip of cherry colored trim on top of that.
I am also starting to obsess with taking sunset pictures...

We now have the shower all framed out and wrapped in backer board. We started taping the seams and covering in thinset. The next step will be to completely cover in a vapor barrier to make sure no moisture gets through as this is the steam shower. We put in more framing at the top for the glass doors to hook on to. Just putting those couple of boards in seemed to define the space a lot more which made us realize how big our shower actually is.

There are 6 shower heads...the 5 larger knobs on the right side wall are shower heads and the one on the lower left portion of the bench is for the hand held shower head. The knob on the lower right wall is where the steam will come out and the steam control will be in the middle of that right wall. There are also the two canned lights in there too. To give you an idea height wise for the shower, that ladder is an 8 foot ladder...

This is our master bedroom. There is still just a bit more trim work to do on the windows in here (and the french doors entering our bedroom still need to be reversed)

The trim carpenters started hanging and trimming out the theater room pocket doors

More sunset pictures and these ones are from the guest suite

Here is the completed guest bathroom shower, grouted and all

Looking into the guest bedroom from the hallway...I took so many pictures of the guest room area because that is where the trim carpenters were working today. They got another job so they are framing that house during the day and trimming out our house at night. They are hoping to finish up this week.

On Saturday, it was really warm out, so Travis and his dad decided to start rocking the back of the house to get out of the hot sun. I was putting up some metal lathe in the back too and got most of the back of the house minus the columns done.

Then on Sunday, it was a lot colder and really windy, so they moved up front to get out of the wind and started working on the garage face.

There was lots of progress made this weekend, but when we are working out there almost every day, it is hard to see any progress. I feel like I have set a moving date so many times, but at this point we are hoping to be living in the house within the next month. The granite guy finished templating all the countertops today. Travis told me not to get my hopes up, but we could have all of our granite in by the end of the week!
