Heavy Metal

We've had the design for our house since last winter when the architect finished her work.  It wasn't until today that we finally had a chance to get a sense of what the finished outside of the house will look like because the last piece of the puzzle - the galvanized metal siding is finally starting to be installed.

This first picture shows the metal installed on the front of the house under the shed room.  We're thinking that we will stain the trim around the door and windows roughly the same color as the front door.

Here's another picture of the front entry showing the finished timber framing, the tongue & groove cedar underneath the soffit and the metal down below.

This interior picture shows the finished stonework around the fireplace and the custom cabinet to the left.  The TV will hang on the stone to the right of the fireplace.

Here's a picture of the stonework around the gas fireplace in our master bedroom.

Our master bath is just about complete - this picture shows the tile on the floor and then the floor of the shower where it meets the floor to the left.

On the back of the house, the truss framing is complete as well as the tongue and groove cedar underneath.  In addition, you can see the chimney which has been covered in the same galvanized steel material we're using on the low part of the exterior.

This last picture shows Mark working his way around the garage installing more of the steel.  Hopefully next time we head up the hill we think the metal will be completely done.
