This home is really becoming a beautiful thing. They’ve been pouring the path to the dock, building the deck and putting up the siding with the wood trim. It’s going to be very lovely when it’s all finished.

The framing is all set and now we’re insulating and getting all the plumbing finished up. Installing tubs before we start to put up drywall and tile is a part of that. We’re also getting the siding and decking up and ready to paint or stain. It’s really beginning to look like a home.
