Electrical, Plumbing, and Heating/Cooling!

The past week has been really exciting at the house.  They have roughed in the electrical, plumbing and the heating/cooling.

Here is the breakdown:

Geothermal for heating and cooling
Gas for fireplace and cooktop
Electric backup for geothermal

This is the beginning of the plumbing in the utility room.

Braeden is inside our fireplace.  We really debated on how we wanted the fireplace.  Who knew there were so many options for fireplaces.  Thank you Pinterest and Google Images for helping us to narrow down what we like!  We decided on floor to ceiling with a step back.  It will be stone with a mantle and hearth.  The part that is set back will hold Brian's new beloved TV.  My husband is a happy man!

Another view of the fireplace.  At some point, we want to have built in cabinets made that will flank each side of the fireplace and will hold all mechanicals, dvd's, etc.

View of living/family room.

This is the dining room which now shows the half walls on each side and in the middle.  Columns will adorn each half wall.  To the right of the dining room is the front door and foyer. 

A view from the living room facing the kitchen.  The first door to the right is the pantry.  The one beside it is the master bedroom.

To the right of the front door is my office.

Really??  All those wires for three switches!!

Copper water pipe

Geothermal ducts

That is a LOT of wire!  I certainly would not want to be the one to tie it into the panel!
