  7/28/2007 Update:

After returning from vacation and going to update the photos after our “Post Drywall” Inspection, we noticed that the Master Bedroom and Master Bathroom were NOT built with the volume ceilings that we specified. We were offered a new lot to rebuild our house on. I deleted all the pics of the old construction and I’m starting over again.
