More progress!

Gas lines have now been installed!















The telephone and cable lines coming into the mechanical room.












Both fireplaces have been set.















Tiger foam!!! A spray in insulation that provides an air tight barrier. This is the one exterior wall in Jacob's room that couldn't be done in ICF. Batting insulation will be put on top of this to make sure he stays toasty!

Heating and air


The heating and air ductwork in the basement is now complete! Dwayne and Jeff had to frame around the ductwork in order for the drywall to be installed.










This is showing the ductwork in the basement bedroom below the master. You can also see the red and blue pex water lines and the radiant floor heat that was installed for the master bath floor. Warm floors on a cold winter morning- thanks, honey!!! You can also see the drywall leaning up against the window. Our drywall crew is ready and waiting to get started and we are looking forward to getting the behind the walls work done!

Electrical progress


These pictures were taken back in February. Dwayne has pulled over 3 miles of electrical wire!! (And yes, the circuits have been tested and they all work!)


























A change of address!

We were fortunate enough to sell our home in November, despite the housing slump, so our address has officially changed!!! Here's a picture of our new mailbox!

















A typical dinner out for Dwayne!
