The garage doors were installed Tuesday......just in time as it started snowing Wednesday morning & it hasn't quit! We're at 16 inches & it's still snowing! The doors are painted but we'll have to paint them again as the color doesn't go with what we've picked out. We're just glad they're on so we could take down the tarps we had up to cover the space. This will probably be our last post until the new year. Merry Christmas everyone!!! 
Lery has been on his own since last Wednesday. Mike went home as Andrea was really sick. She's getting better so we should be getting him back. Leryl has been wiring......did the dryer today. The plumbers hooked up the hot & cold tubing to the manifold. The rooms are all marked out on the manifold so if we have a water issue we just go to the manifold & turn the appropriate line off. Wish I something more exciting to post but we're at a stage that doesn't show a lot of progress even though things are happening. We're on the 3rd contractor for air conditioning. He's coming out tomorrow so hopefully....he'll be a go! We need to get that in before any insulation can be put in. It'll happen. Thanks for checking.....even though there's not much to see. 
OK....more pictures for Bill. The white pipe is central vacuum. I painted the Tyvek yesterday to see what Sveldt Sage looks like. Leryl & Mike hung the garage man door & the door to the BBQ area. Now.....if the big garage doors would get here we'd be tight!!! They're still working on the wiring. I think they'll both be glad when it's done.
OK...Bill wanted pictures of the wiring. Nice box, huh? Tim, Maryal & Mom are here for the weekend. I put Maryal to work on sweeping & Tim is helping Leryl figure out the panel. The safe is installed & the framing around the tub is done. Plumbers are here today so it's busy out there. 
Double doors are in the great room! Gave the boys a bit of trouble as the concrete slab is not completely flat. They hung in there & got it done!!! I didn't do so well on the pictures but you get the idea. The blog will definitely slow down as drilling holes & pulling wires in not real exciting stuff to document! Thanks for checking & I'll do my best to keep it interesting. Penne......I didn't have a choice on the hardware. It's a special locking system built into this door.....my choice was in finish only. Oh well.......................
OK.....the upstairs windows are in so I can quit nagging! Mike returned Monday evening, the windows went in yesterday and today they're off getting "stuff". They have to put in the central vac system and then I think they're on to electrical.....more shavings for me to sweep. Spud Hill & Moscow Mountain had a dusting of snow this morning.....it's coming!
Alan, the roofer, hard at work. He called yesterday and said
Our maple tree tells us it's fall!!!
Well, we altered the plans a bit today. The original plan had a vaulted ceiling in the great room with the windows above the French door being arched. We made the ceiling flat which changed the windows to rectangles. Mike suggested adding a little roof hip below the gable like we have above the garage door. We said "go for it" and we think it worked! The gable was a little over powering with it. Good idea, Mike!
The bay window is in the eating nook! The laundry room window is to the left in the bay picture. Mike & Jason are working on one of the garage windows. They finished the overhang on the garage. Still waiting for the roofer to come back. Maybe tomorrow! Hope you're enjoying our progress.
The Supervisor checking on what happened without him today. Mike & Greg put some of the windows in. Leryl did a pretty good job of staying off his leg. No pain, so that's good. We'll see how he does tomorrow. :)
