Almost there

We still need to sheath the west roof of the great room, the entire office roof and dormer, and a little bit of the west wall. Inside, we need to finish off Nathan's room (one wall), and I think that is about it. Then we need to put windows and doors in! We will also be able to get the garage doors ordered as we now have the garage completed to take measurements.
Todd and I finished with the in floor heat in the basement slab. Hopefully we will be able to get the floor poured in both the basement and the garage next week. We will put the infloor heat in the other areas of the house at a later date.
We hired our heating contractor. He is going to meet with Todd and I either this weekend, or one day next week, to discuss where we would like to put ducts, etc, and then he plans to get started shortly after that. We are going to run a boiler with a fan coil, and a hot water tank, to heat the house--no furnace.
We are going with Ponoka Cabinet Makers for all the kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, and laundry room cabinets. I am doing a beadboard style door on the kitchen cabinets, in a white or antique white, with the island and all the vanities being a dark brown, flat panel door. The garage is completing framed in. Now we can order our garage doors.
The back wall is framed, but not sheathed. It is mostly windows anyways. We have also decided on a fireplace.
This is the dormer over the office. There will be a covered porch out the office sliding doors. There is actually going to be deck the entire length of the back of the house.
The bay window at the front of the house. That is where our kitchen table will sit. The front door is to the right of the window.
Another picture of the garage.
