Photo Update – M&E Rough-ins

12 02 2008

picture-002.jpgLook! a water tank and electrical panel! We had the mechanical and electrical rough-in work started in December. The tiny “utility room” got tinier with the addition of actual equipment.

picture-005.jpgA look from the utility room into the future kitchen. Note the plumbing and wiring in the ceiling! The bathroom is just above the kitchen and we are going to install a drop ceiling in this area. Also note the exterior steel insulated door leaning up against the wall in the background, this is the back door out to the yard waiting to be installed.

picture-008.jpg Our porch with the entry door installed and one of the two cast iron bathtubs we bought. This one had feet and nice trim on the drain and overflow that we are going to transfer to the bigger tub we bought. Rosie is checking it out!

picture-009.jpg Scaffolding in the stairwell opening, we needed it for putting up tyvek at the top of the spaces between the roof trusses to maintain an air space above the insulation we will be blowing in.

picture-014.jpgThe straw around the window and door openings are trimmed and laced with baler twine to give a smooth rounded appearance.

picture-015.jpgYou can see the window seat build-out and the electrical chase at the base of the straw bale wall in this photo.

picture-021.jpgA view into the second floor lounge/living area from the scaffolding in the stairwell opening. The south side of the main and second floors are both open concept to let as much light in to the building as possible.
