We selected PPG Porter Paint for the interior of the house. The majority of the house will be in Austrian Ice. The scan makes it look a bit blue, but it is just a touch blue. We think it complements the exterior nicely.

In the dining room and in the office, we plan to accent below the chair rail with American Anthem. To me (Jyll), it looks like a close match to our siding.

All of the bathrooms have the same cultured marble vanity tops. We selected Golden Mushroom for the walls. It compliments the vanity tops quite nicely.

The siding is going up very quickly! Tony is working on getting the porches started.

It has been a while since the last post because I (John) have been very busy at the hose working on the mechanical installations and doing all of those little odds and ends jobs that pile up. The HVAC system is being roughed-in – and the Geothermal systems are sitting in storage and will be installed once we are ready. I have almost completed running the PEX plumbing supply lines. The cool July weather has been a disadvantage that working the twists and turns out of the tubing would have been easier on a hot day. The electrician should be back from vacation shortly and the electrical install will be completed. I will post pictures of the mechanicals after they are completed.

Things are progressing quite nicely. The siding process started earlier this week. These pictures are from Tuesday.

The framing was completed on Saturday and today the doors and windows were installed.

A few odds and ends need to be completed, but the framing is complete, with the exception of one window that was ordered last week – the original window would not fit in the space designed, so we went from a double hung to a casement. Anyone need an Anderson 2856 window?

As the result of a a few wall placement adjustments, we will need to swap a few of the vanities – but everyting will work in one location or another.

On Saturday the HVAC contractor came on site to measure for the duct work. It will take a week or so to fabricate. In the meantime, the cabinetmaker will stop by to take measurements so that the cabinets will fit and the plumber will complete the drain lines. Additionally, roofing will start followed by siding, then the decks.
