Found out where the tracks lead to. There was around 15 head of deer grazing between the houses. This in the next lot to the East of us.

It's been awhile since we posted but this was about a week after our last posting. It's amazing how fast they can frame one of these things once they get going.

Nice driveway if you own a Hummer.

Above is the direct vent gas fireplace and below the direct lounge jetted garden tub.

This is the On Q Structured Media Center for the video, data, phone and security. The video splitters, data network ports, router, cable modem and security electronics will go in this eventually. Personallly, I think Barb did an awesome job pulling the cables and dressing them in the box. She cabled 500' of RG6Q coax, 500' of CAT6 data cable and 150' of 2-Pair phone cable. I managed to pull maybe 60' of speaker cable. The 70' or so of 1" ENT mentioned earlier for the cable/data/phone home runs pulled me. Muscles I'd forgotten about re-introduced themselves.

This is the trench for the sewer. The guy standing at the end of the trench is about 6' tall. The guy you can't see in front of him was in a 4' deep hole making the sewer connection. After the inspector does his checks they fill the trench with fine gravel, back fill with dirt and then put the water line in which is also covered with fine gravel before the trench is back filled. They also installed the stop and waste valve for the irrigation for me.

Tyson did a fantastic job putting the HDTV antenna in the attic over the two car garage.

At the time of this posting, the house is completely framed with windows and doors-temporary doors as the builder doesn't want the permanent ones dinged up. The shingles are going on. The house is wired, plumbed and the heating is in. It's passed its 4-way inspection (framing, plumbing, heating, electrical). The sewer is in, water is run to the house and the gas line is to the house and ready for the meter. I conned the dude that dug the trenches for the sewer and water line who also digs the trench for the power line to put the conduit for the video/data/phone home runs in at the same time so Barb won't have to dig the trench after all. The insulation is in and its inspection complete. The drywall is mostly hung and will be taped by the end of the week. The outside is getting bricked and then stucco. The landscaper is working on the rough grade and building the rock wall in the back.
