How to lay the pipe

There is a water spigot that is too close to the ground now that some of the final grading has been done...is there a way to move it up? It would be mounted on the rim joist if we move it up into the siding area.  (update 2015 - we've sold this house now and are getting ready to build another.  We did move the spigot up.)

Below is a wider angle shot of where the spigot is. It is two blocks to the left of the vent area.

The sewer and water hook ups can be seen in the front right corner of the below photo. The pump will reside in the area between the walkway and the driveway to the left of the front porch. (update 2015.  The pump ended up going in to the right of the front porch as you look at this picture..over where the shade is on the right).

All Frozen Up

So we had a little HVAC problem.  I don't even remember what it was at this point, but it turned out not to be a big deal at all.  I think we had one thermostat trying to cool while another was trying to heat...something like that.

We are getting closer all the time

The siding is finished. Now for the posts on the front porch, the railing, the landscaping, the back deck, the outlets and electrical fixtures, the HVAC hook up, the plumbing fixtures, carpet, hardwood, and...applainces.

(plus whatever else I've forgotten)

Not bad for my first dance if I don't say so myself!

Nope...that isn't granite...it's laminate...and that IS an undermount sink.

an undermount sink with a laminate countertop?...Yep!!

The countertop for the Island

The Deck Area

The deck will nestle in this corner with both doors opening onto the deck. Stairs will go down on the right hand side. The deck will be as close as possible to interior floor level.

This side door opens up from the nursery/study off the back of the master bedroom.

This wall is approximately 12'.

This door opens to the Laundry Area which flows into the Kitchen.

This wall is approximately 13'.

The Outside is coming along

The siding is going on!!

The 2x6 at the top of the vinyl will get wrapped with white metal/vinyl and then white board and batten siding will go in the gable.
