Cupolas, Spires & Roof Vents......Oh My!!!!

It took a little while to get these out of the garage and on the roof because the framers had to build boxes for the cupolas.  They are finally up and look amazing!  I can't wait until they start to weather a bit!

Also, the plumbing is almost complete on the inside.....those pics are pretty boring though!

Next up will be the HVAC and electric rough out then moving on to brick!












You may recognize this window from Italy from an earlier post.  I picked this up almost a year ago in Round Top, TX.  It's now been installed in the powder room!  We'll be adding a plate of glass on the outside to protect it.

Framing Punch Out!


Well we've been framing for almost 2 months and as much as we love Poncho and his crew we are ready to move on!  It's looking great and they just have a few punch items left.  The roofers worked quickly and I'm happy to say that as soon as we get the ridge tiles on we'll finally be weathered in!!!  Plumbing and HVAC is now underway as well and brick will be up next!  Exciting times!!!

Kitchen/Great Room.  These are 2 of the windows we got from an old Orangery in Belgium.
