They also delivered construction doors so that the house can be 'buttoned up' beginning next week. Apparently, scrap metal is a very valuable commodity here in Indiana and copper piping disappears regularly. They are going to start roughing in the plumbing next week so hopefully we won't lose any of the pipes.
With the framing finally complete on the two main levels, the upstairs layout is much clearer. This first picture is taken from the master bedroom looking back toward the stairs. As you walk down the hallway, on your left is Conor's room and then the hall bath. On the right is the linen closet followed by the guest room. There's only a half wall at the stairwell so the light from the landing window should flood this area too!
Conor's room (right) looks huge and he is excited to start filling it up! One minor 'glitch' is that the HVAC guys laid out his vents right where we want to someday add his window seat. I am meeting with them first thing Monday morning to see what the other options are. The picture below left is the master bath. The window is basically sitting on the shower bench. The middle pic is a little alcove by the access door to the garage attic storage area. We'll have to try and do something cozy there. The last pic gives you a good idea of what the ceiling in the master will look like.
This week promises to be another busy one. In addition to beginning the plumbing rough in, we're meeting with the electrician to map out all the light fixtures, switches and outlets on Tuesday. Wednesday is Extreme Housebuilding Day -- extreme in the sense that the roof and the basement will both get some attention.
