New house progress

Paid our first visit to the house since just before the slab was poured some time in December. The builders have made pretty good progress on it. After the slab was poured, the house was framed and enclosed within just a few days.

Inside, pretty much all of the gas, electrical, plumbing are done. From the garage, you can see clear through to the other side of the house!

No idea if a car will ever see the inside of this garage. At the front of the house is the future ham shack/office.

We’ve got plenty of electrical outlets, and soon there will be a conduit leading to the outside for the antenna feed lines.

The other bedroom will be our library and Connie’s work space. It’s a little bit bigger than the shack.

The kitchen isn’t much yet, but you can see where things will be going. One wall for the island is in place and you can see the plumbing and gas connections for the sink and stove. Really looking forward to having a gas stove to cook with.

The master bedroom is a pretty good size, with a large bathroom and two big walk-in closets.

Finally, out back we have a ginormous patio to hang out on. Unfortunately because of restrictions on where the house can be placed on the lot, there’s not a whole lot of back yard. Plenty of side yard, but it will still be a good place for the dogs to run around in once it gets fenced in.

New house is looking pretty good so far. Looking forward to moving in soon.
