Roof done, interior framed, all sorts of stuff happening

As usual I have let time get away from me, and it has been over 2 weeks since I updated this thing.  Time flies when all you do is chase kids, attack the house "to do" list, and sleep.

Here's a random, non-complete, and at least 95% factual list of what has been going on:
  • Roof done
  • decking and screen porch framing done
  • interior walls framed
  • Tile finalized
  • Garage doors almost finalized
  • Electrical walk-through done (took 4 hours!)
  • Plumbing walk-through done
  • Security system research done and 95% decided on
  • started to look for lighting
  • Fireplaces framed in, including some debate on how to exactly position the one downstairs (side note will probably go with tile around this one instead of the planned stone)
  • we bought a TRACTOR..one step closer to being a true Iron Ranger!  It's a Kubota 3200 with a front-mounted snowblower!
  • I'm sure a bunch of other little details I am forgetting
So on to some new pictures (taken over several different days):
