End of Year Update

As our project moves into 2009, here are the latest pics:


Here's the latest view of the front.


Calvin Krebs is so on-the-ball. He installed this state-of-the-art venting system in our roof without even asking. It was the right thing to do and he did it. This gives me tremendous confidence in him.


This is the old entrance to the house now being converted into a little greenhouse for Rita.


Here is our ultra-modern tankless water heater.

Here comes the roof

Bay window, tub, stairs

The bay window is in.


The whirlpool tub is in.


The new stair system continues. You can also see the new opening to the master bedroom deck.

Stairs and Master Bathroom

The new stair system continues.


I'm standing where the shower will be. Past the wall I'm facing will be the water closet. Behind me will be the tub.

Windows and skylights

Our windows have arrived.


Our skylights (except for the big huge atrium) are installed. The first is the loft, the second is the roof over where the kitchen island will be.


The new stair system is coming into view. To the left, the space for the stairs. To the right, the new wall for the living/media room.


Here's Rita in the basement. Soon, stairs will be where she's standing.

Roof, Stairs and Tile - Oh My

The roof is done but for the tile.


Our new stairs are coming along as is the new part of the loft.


Here's a palette of green onyx that we got a very good deal on.

Some fun movies

I'm working on transition movies from the old house to the new:
