I cannot believe how fast this is going.

This used to be a window. Now it is plastic. It will be sheet rock:

This used to be our outside door. The outside door is now on the outside of the addition (you can see it through this temporary door). The door that is here is temporary; it will be an open doorway into the new living room:

Our carpenter was asking whether we wanted trim on the doorway once we get to that point. I said “yes” rather quickly. He said, “Yeah, doing just sheet rock is very condo.” Amused me. Having the temporary door is nice; helps keep some of the dust out (though plenty is coming in).

This used to be the bathroom window. It is now a mirror in the window frame. This makes it so we don’t have to try to match that paint. Dena thinks it’s funny to have a mirror that looks like a window. I guess it is, a little bit:

This is the other side of the former-window-that-will-be-sheetrock (not the former-window-now-mirror):

The picture is here more to point out: look! Wires! Electrical and speaker!

This is the panel for the speaker wiring:

The contractor and the subs were looking at it today, a bit amused. Seems when I told him I was going to do some stereo wiring, he didn’t realize it would be quite so elaborate. The connections are for, from left to right:

First panel: Front and back speakers (left and right).

Second panel: Middle speakers (these terminate in the ceiling with no actual jack, since we don’t have middle speakers and probably won’t any time soon).

Third panel: RCA cables to where Dena’s computer will be so we can use that iTunes. Our new TiVo actually accesses the iTunes library through the wireless network, so we may just go with that, but it’s nice to have some extra wires running the length of the room just in case.

This is to prove that we will have lights:

And siding:

We’re scheduled to be going through October sometime. I wouldn’t be surprised if they finish sometime in September.
