Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'

Whew! As this project progress, each day presents new challenges, more choices and noticeable progress. I had a great meeting with the cabinet maker today, and I think we have finalized his drawings to the point where he can begin working his many projects. Added to my homework is choosing countertops, so tomorrow begins serious shopping on this front.

Also tomorrow is our very important walk-through with the electrician. Together, we worked through a few issues today, but tomorrow we approve their work before they begin to run wires. Even before we started this process, I always said if we ever built a home, I wanted to be there the day the electrician was there. In the last three houses we've lived in, especially our current home, little things have driven me nuts -- a switch halfway across the room for the garbage disposal, a telephone jack next to the stove, and thermostat box smack in the middle of a wall where a picture would go. So that day has come.

These pictures were taken today: In this first photo, you see the doors in the great room going out onto the back porch. To the right is where the tub will be in the master bath. Below you see Aaron and Mitch in what will be the kitchen. Mitch has been a big help to us and works for the building supply company we are using. The last photos show the front of the house and the north side of the front porch.
