Quick update this week. A little bit of progress all around, with the electrical rough-in being the biggest area of note.
Remarkably, our time-lapse camera was found, pretty much unscathed!
We haven't had time yet to see what we've recorded to date but will be taking a look at this over the weekend. We'll reinstall it in a more secure location, to pick up where we left off when it was ripped from its mount by earth-moving work last week.
While only a small portion of the house has been sided, pending installation of the doors, the installed siding has been painted, so we're starting to get a feel for what the finished result will be. So far, we like it!
On the selection of finishing details, one area we're making good progress is with the plumbing fixtures. We still need to settle on a fancy pedestal tub and a farm sink, but in the meantime, we've locked in on these faucets for the bathrooms and kitchen.
We were expecting the concrete garage floor to be poured this week, but for some unknown reason it wasn't, so we'll be following up on that this weekend. At the very least, it should be poured this coming week. Based on the current schedule we should have our doors to install next week, minus the mahogany front door, which will enable the rest of the siding installation.
On the planning front, we'll spend some time on lighting selections, and try to nail down the cabinet layout, more or less!!
That's enough for this week. Enjoy!

| Maybe not obvious, but here's the kitchen island, with rough-in for the prep sink we'll be using to clean blue crabs on a regular basis! |

| "Cans" for the recessed lights have been installed. Here are two on the rear porch, of the 65 or so we've specified throughout the house. We'll be examining these over the weekend to make sure we're happy with the layout. |
That's enough for this week. Enjoy!
