The siding is finished! we just need to install the gutters and shutters, and paint the doors.

here are some before and after shots (click to enlarge):




we also installed the ceiling rafters in the master bedroom (very easy to do if you have a laser level!) and we started wiring the 2nd floor.

we couldnt have a cathedral ceiling because we needed to provide an attic space to run the hvac ductwork. but, we were still able to vault the ceiling to almost 9 feet, which is certainly better than the 7 foot ceiling that was there.

we are also making progress with the plumbing and expect the rough plumbing inspection on tuesday.
