Waiting on the Colors

The beams for the back porch have been delivered. 

Here they are on the garage floor.  (That's Shane, using his phone as a flashlight so we can see the beams.)

...and the beams have been installed...they look much better than the 2x4 that has been holding the roof up.

The plumbers have been popping in and out and accomplishing about one thing at a time...

The latest thing was a change in the shower pan liner.  Originally, it was much smaller, but now they have put in a new one that extends around the corner and currently it is filled up with water...they are testing it for leaks.

Hopefully, now that this has been changed & the bathtub pipes moved, the tile guys can get in and finish up.

The painters have also stopped by.

They haven't applied any color yet, but they've removed all of the doors.

...and they've started covering the wood floors with paper...

...and covering the cabinets in plastic...
We are hoping that by the end of this week the walls have been prepped and most of the walls have been painted.  The paint crew has to finish up another house and then they'll move to ours.

Now, here are just some detail shots...

This is my vanity drawer.  It was Shane's idea to have the separate sections put in, so my make-up can be organized a bit-he thinks of everything.

We just discovered that my vanity drawer divider as well as the silverware dividers are all removable, in case we change our minds.

Upstairs, in the bar, I just noticed that not only does it have pretty details on the outside, but they have even put trim on the inside of the ceiling header. 

Nice touch, Danny (he's the trim guy & he's done an awesome job!).

Shane seems to think I've unfairly posted too many pics of the wine room (what?!)...but I'm sure that you want to see these floor details I've just discovered.

Here are a couple of the stamps in the reclaimed wine barrel pieces we've used for the flooring....

Soon, the stucco guys will come back.  It should only take a couple of days to apply the final coat, which includes the color. 

I'm looking forward to seeing the inside and outside once all of the colors have been applied.
