Isn't it Beautiful?

This is the back of the house.  All windows are in and so is the glass sliding door. The glass door is in the dining room and will be the entry to the back yard deck. The three downstairs windows are in the kitchen.  The one on the farthest right will be over my built-in desk.  The upstairs windows are ( on the right) guest bedroom and (left) guest bath.  Yesterday Ted and Company removed the siding on the left of the house (when you look at it from this vantage) , Tyveked it, and installed the first floor windows.  Ted says that by Wednesday of next week, all the Tyvek will be on and all the windows installed.  They will then move onto trimming.

The trees in the back yard are scheduled for removal this coming week although yesterday the Arborist let me know that one of his trucks is in for repairs.  He hopes to have it ready, but the job may be postponed.  This really needs to be done soon because we want to get the outside of the house all cleaned up by the end of the month.

The kitchen and the bathroom vanities are officially on order.  I have finalized the kitchen hardware, and IKEA wins.  As soon as Dave Devendorf, the kitchen designer, gives me the count, I will order them.

 
We have a large scaled rendering of the kitchen now. We will take it to Ashfield Stone ( next week I hope) and maybe pick the slabs for the counter tops.

The plumber starts on Monday.  We will meet with the electrician next week as well.
