Today's progress...

Today was crazy at the job site...the framers will finishing up, plumbers were bringing the lines thru.... I met our contractor there to discuss some details that needed addressing. We ended up leaving the vault in the master bathroom instead of having it framed with a flat ceiling. Hopefully it will make it seem larger.

Another last minute change: the engineer put in a beam right in the middle of the kitchen wardrobe/closet separating the mudroom from the hallway. Originally it was supposed to be open at the top but now we will have to close it in. One advantage is that we have to shorten the closet so it will give us more walking space between the kitchen and hallway.

Yet another issue was the window in the master closet. It was spec'd too large so the closet will come right up to the window edge which will make it hard to open the door. We have Lori at Alpine working on alternative solutions without doors for the ends of the wardrobe wall.

Tomorrow we are meeting with Joe, our electrician, to do a run through for lighting. We just found out this afternoon that we needed to do this asap. Everything is moving so quickly that its hard to keep up. Luckily our contractors (Aaron, Todd, Josh) have level heads, reminding us constantly that not everything is a crisis situation code red.
