Day 134: Windows, Fireplace and Electrical Boxes

Oops! We met another neighbor, got visiting and it was raining so I only got the right side of the house today!

They got lots done yesterday and possibly part of today.
All the upstairs windows are installed. They waited on the basement ones because the window wells are the only way to get down there right now. ;) Hopefully that changes this week.
Then, they got our fireplace in!!!!! Amazing! They still have to add benches on each side but it's gonna be AWESOME!

That brings me to the view out the back windows of our home. TO. DIE. FOR!!!!!! These pictures don't do it justice.

They added the pieces (on each side of the room) to the trusses so that they can eventually drywall up to the vaulted ceilings.

They drilled the holes for the plumbing to my kitchen bar. They had to move it out because of the duct-work downstairs so I will be having TONS of space between cupboards and the island. Which eats into the walking area between the kitchen and the living room. Kind of a bummer because I feel like it's wasted space but it is what it is! If we built this house again we'd resituate the utility room so we could make things fit better.

They installed all the electrical boxes. We are excited about the amount and placement of them. We do have to add one for my glass case by the upstairs bathroom, move/remove the ones that will be hidden by the fireplace benches and see if they can put the thermometer on a different wall. But we love seeing things get done quickly. They also installed the boxes for my bathroom fan/lights and the boxes for the bedroom lights.

We did find out that the big black flex piping (and the silver one downstairs pictured below) that go out the roof are the piping for our bath fans. Cool beans!

Last but not least- Scott moved my (Shay) showerhead down so that I actually get some water pressure on my head. Brett's is at 7 feet, mine is at 6 feet.
