We Get An Extersion

We saw our architect, Julie, 2 weekends ago (at a friend's party), and she mentioned that the roof overhangs looked too short (she was worried about the look).  I went up and measured, and lo and behold, they exactly matched the drawing.  Later that week, the owner of construction company suggested that we extend the roof overhangs because it didn't look "Craftman" enough.  He had the carpenters extend the roof overhang by an additional foot and here are the results.
I agree that it looks better.

After we moved the wall (that the electricians noticed was out of place), I realized that we also needed to move the door in Val's room.
Val and her new door.
The owner of the carpentry team welded the metal posts in the basement in place.  I missed getting a picture of him actually welding, but here is the final product.  The metal posts from the 1st level to the roof will be put in when the stairs get put in.

The electricians ran the wires earlier this week and the plumber started to lay the piping in the floor (pictures to come). 
We finally picked out cabinets for the bathrooms.  I think all of the decisions we need to make are the most painful.  We need help and I think it may be on the way.  More to come.
