While waiting for the furnace units to be installed, the framers
have come back to finish up the sofits, frames around the fireplaces
and the theater ceiling. The trim around the windows has been completed
and you can now see them unobstructed. Stone has been delivered
for the rest of the house, but with 3 straight days of rain, nothing
has been started yet.

With the scaffolding down and out of the way, the side of the house
looked like it was missing something. Sure enough, the windows in
the dormers were missing their accent surrounds. After looking at
the original drawing, we realized the dormers were actually built
differently than what was drawn and that led to the confusion. So
the stucco crew came back out to add the accents. As long as they
had their scaffolding set up, we decided to add accents to all the
windows so they will all look uniform. In the meantime, the plumber
has returned to install our water heater, gas lines to the fireplaces,
and exterior spigots. The HVAC guys should be finishing early next
week as well, now that we have ironed out the theater cooling requirements.
The final load of lumber for the basement sofits and theater ceiling
should be delivered Monday or Tuesday along with the stone for the
rest of the house.

After a short business trip to Austin, I returned to find the stucco
completed and our house starting to show some color. A big Thank
You to my wonderful fiancé, Debbie, who snapped the pictures while
I was gone. As you can see the accent color was used for the window
surrounds while the main color for everything else. The areas that
are still blank will be filled in with stone. Now if only we can
get the interior crews moving as fast.

The stucco crew has been progressing nicely by completing the back
foam accents and almost completing layer 1 on the entire house.
This morning we picked Tortilla as the main color and Java as the
accent color. We're hoping when we return this afternoon some of
the color has been started. The entire stucco project should be
completed by Thursday. We can't wait!
Enjoy your visit!
