House Update 3

We have windows folks!  We also met with the electrician on Thursday to do a walk-through of the house to see where every light, receptacle, cable outlet, phone outlet, and light switch will go.  It was exciting to know that this next phase of the building process is about to begin, but also very overwhelming to think through all of these details.  In the bedrooms he asked me where I was going to put the beds so that he could put the cable outlets on the wall opposite of each bed.  Um... yea, hadn't thought of furniture placement yet.  I was tempted to zone out and just tell him to do what he thought about halfway through the house, but reminded myself that something as little as having a light switch in an odd place or not having an outlet when you need one can be quite annoying when you really live in a house.  If we have the luxury of getting to meet with the electrician we should make good use of it.  For the walk-through, our builder had drawn all of kitchen cabinets/appliances on the floor so we could see where everything would be.  That was pretty fun.  Here's the view from the kitchen sink...

Minus the film and stickers on the windows, the trailers, the dirt pile, and the debris it won't be a bad place to wash dishes.

Here's the pantry/safe room for tornadoes and such. 

During the framing process, this little room had a lot of people curious.  We had several people ask us if we were putting in an elevator.  One person asked if it was a vault to which Bryant replied that we had stockpiles of gold to store.  One interesting observer alluded to war and hiding guns in the backyard.  Yea, we're really just prepping for tornadoes like James Spann taught us.

Here's the progress from the lakeside of the house.  This will be the screened in porch...

The other porches.  One part is covered and one part will be a sun-porch.  Don't tell my dermatologist.

Where's Waldo?  Can you spot our little helper?  Miller loves going to "the lot" and makes us a little nervous roaming the framed stairs and finding all the building goodies and scraps laying around.  Today we kept him busy with a tape measure and kept pointing to random things for him to measure.  According to his measurement system, everything in our house is "pwetty tall".

Can't wait to see what's next!
