stucco

This week we were excited to see the stucco started. They have been working all week on getting the stucco up around the house. They put it on looking like cement and later on the color goes into it. So no our house will not end up being this ugly gray. The stone will be going on very soon as well. Inside the house electrical wiring and low voltage wiring were ran throughout. The two pocket doors were put in and the casing for the master tub was put in. The front door jam was also installed. Some errors in framing were fixed, however when the laundry chute was finally cut open a bundle of electrical wires were exposed directly in the path of the chute. yes the electricians used the same holes that the plumbers used and moved from because they were direclty under the chute. Well the electricians must have thought oh how great pre-drilled holes, but never thought maybe there is a reason they were pre-drilled.

 Here is the framing for the master tub.


This is the framing for a pocket door in the master where the toilet and bidet will be.

This is the back of the house now with stucco..

  1. Wow! What an ugly house. Glad it is not me that will end up living there. :)

    Seriously though, looking good. Hope the chute gets fixed soon.

  2. I can't wait to use the bidet when I visit. We hired a builder to do our addition, and I walked through a custom home he's building. It's big like yours and he took a lot of the little "pocket spaces" and created little hideaway play areas with small arched doorways all throughout the house for the kids. It was way cool. One upstairs has a big slide that goes down through the walls and pops them out into the downstairs hallway.
