Phase Nine Update #2 - More Paint, Trim, & Pool

The work continues in the trim and paint phase of construction. At the same time the pool guys are making progress on that project. The photos that appear below show you some of the advancements that have been made to date. The painters actually worked today, a Sunday, and re-hung all the interior doors. The photos don't really convey the level of quality that the painters accomplished in their work. The trim carpenters have also been very busy and have been doing an amazingly high quality job; just study some of the details in things like the dining room columns and the fireplace for some idea how well they have done. Here we go with the update photos:
Facade:
Things to note in these photos are the shutters that have been installed, the porch rails, and the new steps.

Dining Room:
The first photo is taken from the convergence of the entry way and the living room looking back into the dining area. Notice the detail work in the columns and the arches. The back wall in the first photo is where the mirrors will be installed. The second photo was taken from the back corner of the dining room looking toward the living room. The doorway on the left is the kitchen, while the door on the right goes into the study.

Kitchen:
Here's a shot showing the newly installed cabinets. The countertops are scheduled to go in this coming week. Once the countertops are installed I expect that they'll install the pass through window. This window installation has to wait for the countertops due to the fact that the countertop will extend under the window to form the lanai bar.


Family Room:
Here are three views of the family room from various corners that give you some perspective on the layout and scale. Also included in this group is a closeup shot of the fireplace.


Master Bedroom & Bath:
These shots show the progress on the master bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom shot is from the rear sitting area just off the lanai and looking toward the front of the house and the master bath.


Miscellaneous Shots:
This series depicts the new garage steps, some outside views that include the new garage door, pool retaining wall, and the rear view showing progress on outside painting. You will also note the installation of bullnose tile around the pool in some of those shots.
