So things are moving right along. Putting in septic and hooking up water tomorrow. Siding is going on and the beams are done in the ceiling. The audio visual guy and I went a round and we will just say he has been fired, by me anyways. The system was paid for and waiting on install and darn me I had a question concerning their planned installation. He wouldn't answer his phone, but communicated with me via text. Which was no big deal but three questions in and he tells me to "google the electrical code for more information". Instead of driving to his location and "working things out" I took a pill and petted my dog. I'm sorry but it's not my job, when I have paid you to do something for me, to have to "Google" anything! I have a question, you answer it, if you don't know the answer, YOU google it and get back to me! I don't know, am I off base here??
Anyways, here's some pics!

Yep, I'd text him and tell him he's fired and if he shows up at your property that you have a backhoe and a bag of lime....jus sayin..

How dare you interrupt his marathon gaming session with questions! He probably got Cheetos on his phone screen from taking the time to text you.  I'd be talking with the general contractor about his choices in subs as well. All issues aside, looks like it's progressing pretty darn fast and well all things considered.

And you're totally in the clear... if our builder told me to google something I'd be furious. They're getting paid to deal with your questions, especially if you're the one who contracted them.

You could name that big room, "The Church"

Then you could call the whole structure "A cathedral"

Couple of things I noticed though:

The walls all need drywall

I'd plant some grass on all that dirt around the place

Other than that, fill er' up with furniture

Loving how it's all coming together. Lots of arches and beams. Will be a beauty once all done.
Was looking at the fireplace again. It is huge! Is it 8" chimney or bigger? I think the biggest I've saw is 8" but looking at the can and then the pipe, making me think it could be bigger.

Looking great inside and out!

Ok ok ok..... We are going to hash this out! We have *9* kids! We need a 14' kitchen table if we are all going to sit down together! We don't even have a guest room and most of the bedrooms of Camelot  are double booked! Truth is, you can build a lot of house down here for a lot less money than most parts of the world! we probably have less money in it than Don has in Square D! ;)

Flooring
Standard 13" tiles will be for foyer the wood grain tile will be for most of the main living areas. Below is the accent stripe that will separate the two

Counter top for center island in kitchen.

The perimeter counter top is mostly black with light metal accents.

Woodwork will all be in knotty alder. This is the main stain "cinnamon"

The center island and basement bar will be stained this darker color.

Man, I love the ceramic tile that looks like wood.  I have it in my weekend place and it's awesome.  Very kid friendly.

I have old school 3/4 inch oak hardwood plank floors in my house and they are NOT kid friendly...or drunk friends dressed like hookers with 6 inch heels and a missing rubber piece so that the nail puts an imprint in the wood floor every where she walked......

My wife is still steamed about that one....

Looking good Blaine.  Take lots of pictures.  Kids are rough on houses....as you undoubtedly know...

It's coming along nicely. Here's some crown

Looking awesome! Very nice choices have been made.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

I too like that kitchen. What can I say, I like cooking.
