Sheetrock/Driveway


The steel for the first portion of the drive will start tomorrow.
The underpinning was completed today. You'll also notice that we've brought up the grade a bit.
A rear sidewalk to the back entrance.
Forms for the drive.
The grade and underpinning again.
Scott's lighting columns are a throw back to our uncle's house in our home town. These will be finished with white plexi on the interior and low voltage lighting to accent the drive.
We plan on wiring in the carports as well as some low voltage behind the slates of the boat storage.
The tall column will be at the entrance of the drive (along with another opposite) and the short ones will be staggered up the drive.
The sheetrock is up with an inspection tomorrow before tape/float/texture.

More pics of the progress to come.

Insulation

The insulation and mid-level sound deadening are all done. The house is considerably cooler throughout the day. I can only imagine the difference HVAC will make.
