House Progress 3

It's been awhile since I updated our House Progress.  

They have finished laying the brick on the exterior.  Eventually all the brick will be painted gray and shutters will be added to frame the windows and painted black.

 

This is the view of the controversial arches at the entryway as you walk in the front door during the framing stage: 

Now, with the dry wall.  I can't believe I ever thought to keep them squared off!


View from the great room of more arches during frame stage:


Now with the dry wall:


They completed the wood floors in one day!  Only the stairs are left. They will be stained a much darker shade later:


Now that the boring electrical and insulation period is over I will be updating more often, as there will be much more to show...
