Much Progress!

So much has been accomplished over the last few weeks!  The septic was inspected, the rough plumbing has been completed and will be inspected next Thursday.  The full bath downstairs has been framed and the tub is in place.  The egress window in the ocean side downstairs bedroom has been installed and the egress window in the other downstairs bedroom is on order due to arrive in the next week.   So as always photos have been taken of the process.  What do you think?

The pile of dirt and debris was eventually sifted and sorted by R and taken to the dump!

Plumbing that leads out to the septic.  

R mixed and moved all of this cement to cover up the pipes and fix the floor.

Floor in process!

New septic covered!

Soon this will be a beautiful grassy yard!

Build up of dirt in order to deflect water from running down into the basement. 

Framed bathroom

Beautiful and bright front door!

Full downstairs bath.

Large egress window.  I'll get a better picture showing the view once the dumpster is gone.

R took down the block wall that once stood next to the fireplace! 

Hook up for the washer in our new laundry room.  It will be an actual finished room not stuck in the furnace room.

Lovely tub.

Beautiful pipes!

That space will house the new heating system, oil tank and water heater.  

Cold and Hot water!!!

Hopefully we'll get photos of the newly sided exterior this weekend. 

Peace!

Moving Forward....

I am amazed at how much has been accomplished at 40 M over the past several weeks!  Septic, electric, plumbing, sliding glass door installation and more!  It looks like a real home and it feels like there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  The following photos will give you an idea of what we are accomplishing.

Who new white pipes and yellow wires could be so exciting!

Peace!

Progress

Well a lot has been going on over at 40 M!  Even with the sash problems with the windows we have completed the installation upstairs.  The last glass to go in upstairs is the huge sliding glass door.  That is planned for next weekend.  The septic is in place.  It remains uncovered until the plumber connects the pipe in the basement.  He begins on Monday.  The electrician will be all set to start work on Monday as well.  R will be over there with J finishing up securing of the kitchen windows and wrapping the house with the black felt paper.

We went over to check out the windows late this afternoon and I am utterly amazed at how they came out and how they transform the house.

Window to the far left is in the master bedroom.  The next window is the bathroom window
and the final window is the kitchen window that will be over the sink. 

Here you get a good view of the kitchen window.  It is a single casement window.
It really brightens up that part of the kitchen.

Looking into the bathroom.  The window is directly across from the door and
it is high enough and small enough to ensure a level of privacy.

These are the windows on the far end of the master bedroom.
They are closest to the street. 

These are the money shot windows.  Situated on the ocean side of the master
these windows frame a beautiful ocean view.  I can imagine waking up to the sunrise.  

Another shot of the windows on the ocean side of the house. 

Here I am trying to give a better look at the view. 

Straight on look at the east side of the master.

Can you see the ocean?  In person the view is better.

Yet another perspective.  The plastic on the glass limits the quality of these pics.

More perspective on the view.

So this is the view that the master windows frame!
