Plumbing and electric

Dwayne has done a fabulous job with the plumbing and has started on the electric!
The manifold for the master bath. We are using PEX tubing for our supply lines- doesn't it look cool? Blue is for cold water and red is for hot water. And an advantage of doing your own plumbing is that you can add in extra lines if you want, for example, three shower heads!
Supply lines and drain lines for Rebecca's bath.
Outlet boxes for three of the entry lockers. Dwayne wants an outlet in each one so that everyone has a spot to charge their phones and game systems. :) I didn't get a picture of the contraption Dwayne used to cut out the styrofoam. It looks really weird but makes very straight lines!
A close of up how the out let box fits into the ICF wall. A picture of three of the can lights in the dining room.

Roofing

The shingle portion of our roofing is mostly on. Clarence Pickett, who is a good friend and CLS customer, owns Pickett and Dunn roofing and is putting on our roof. We are waiting on the metal roofing for the porches at this point. So far these guys have done a great job and were very quick with the shingles.
