Garage is open and now that the framing is done they uncovered the windows. The final awnings were being built.
Final set of awnings are now over the garage. Blue roofing material went on parts of the roof this week. I imagine it should be done by the end of next week.
We showed up and found a bunch of mechanical heating/cooling equipment in the garage early in the week.
We changed the stain color for our beams to Dark Oak with the tongue and groove being stained at 50% of the same color so we have some contrast.

Chimney was added!
Heating/cooling and plumbing coming along nicely below the house. In the crawl space it is clear that they've been working but not much to show in the actual house as of yet.
Tongue and groove arrived.
Water heater and furnace area in the garage starting to show evidence of progress. Yellow gas lines and copper pipes.
Gas lines for the stove and going up to the upstairs mechanical closet.
Guest bath shower roughed in.
Bags of mechanical stuff
Vents for registers showed up. They've since covered them all up with boards to keep dust and other garbage from falling into them.
Bathrooms are starting to have the hot and cold copper pipping.

We met with our builder to go over some design ideas earlier this week. We picked out flooring and tile, sort of a pre-order selection - to make sure we're good on price and all that. She will submit all of that to the flooring company and they will go double check measurements etc. and give us a final cost in a week or two. Once that is in we will finalize our plumbing fixtures and everything else once we make sure it all matches. The order will be placed AFTER we confirm everything else.
We have two other meetings coming up. Our builder has sent us her ideas of the cabinets and for the most part there was little to add or change. We will go over the cabinets with the cabinet maker at some point soon. Also, the electrical walk through is planned for 2 weeks out. We wanted to do it sooner but we're out of town when the builder/electrician can do it and they are out of town when we can do it so he will start working on things that have to be done due to code or other regulations until we can meet and finalize things like plugs and light switches.
