since july and throughout august framing has continued and the house is taking shape. all walls and roof trusses are up and it actually looks like a house. fortunately, i'm being sent lots of photos, most seen here. windows and door openings show the view planes from and between the
rooms.
seeing the structure in three dimensions has me thinking of new
ideas for finishes, lighting applications and use cases. it's a
slippery slope to visualize all the possibilities then account for them,
so exercising restraint will be the philosophy this fall.
i've been selecting plumbing fixtures and browsing lighting fixtures, establishing contact with a local lighting designer. there is a current electrical mechanical plan we used for permitting, so we will improve upon that with more creative lighting applications. cabinet drawings are mostly finished for kitchen and all baths, so it's nearly time to get pricing on those.

i'm super-excited about the expansion of the kitchen island to 8', including an electrical cooktop and convection oven contained therein. upper cabinets are only against the east wall; all other cabinets are lowers.
i revisit the site in around two weeks when i hope to begin out-of-contract processes of landscaping, lighting design and home theater rough. i found a great-looking front door at summit woodworking that mom-in-law called "very auspicious". that's a good thing.
