Electrical, Plumbing and Central Vac is done!

We have been extremely busy these last few weeks and have been unable to find time to post new pictures.
The house is amazing - this has truly been one of the most satisfying projects. We must give a huge shout out to our builder, Danesh Furoughi with Stonecraft Construction - he has been such a delight to work with (and he puts up with us being so involved)
-The roof has been shingled - we decided to go all shingles instead of doing metal around the porches like the plans had suggested
-Stairs to the "man room" are finished (Jim is thinking dart boards, air hockey table, large t.v, etc)
-Rough in plumbing is finished (complete with outdoor shower and hot/cold dog wash!)
-Rough in electrical is almost finished
-Rouch in central vac system is finished (i'm SOOOO excited about this!)
-We ran the speaker wire for the whole house audio system last weekend (Thanks to Dad Tyson for your help!)
-Front and Side exterior doors have been primed (thanks to Mom Tyson for your help!)
-Garage doors were installed (they look amazing!)
-Fireplace is installed - the vent sticks out onto the side porch, so it turns out we get a porch heater too!
-HVAC should be done by the end of this week

Hopefully we'll get our framing inspection next week!
Next step? Built-In Shelves in Dining Room, Sheet rock, porch ceilings, exterior siding and stone!

Pictures coming soon (sorry our current house is for sale and the laptop is in the closet :-)
