The sub-basement wall was finally poured - after a year of preparation! Unfortunately, there are some voids - areas where the cement did not fill all the way to the top. The support posts for the porch were poured as well. We have some landscaping to do and then we can begin framing the porch.
The final electrical inspection was supposed to be this past week, but somehow we missed the inspector.
The garage is insulated and I installed my shop heater into the garage.
We have been having a debate about how to install the cement panels that are to be on the exterior of the house. The installation guide and the city inspectors want flashing between each horizontal seam of the boards. We think it will look bad, and we have to try and get a color match.
The doors facing the lake were not installed properly. Yesterday we got about 7" of snow and some of it was inside the house.
The insulators are Builders/Webster Insulation, and we still have not settled with them. They sent our Servicemaster to see if they can clean the overspray, but Servicemaster says "We've never tried to clean this."
I am about 60% done with the conduit for the low voltage system.
We are trying to find the best method to get the drywall done. We have several options, but have not determined the best value yet.
We bought a tub and a sink base for the mudroom.
The plumber is not done yet.
We are still trying to figure out what to do with our not-so-old water heater that is in the basement. We had to buy a powervent model, and now we have a 5 year old water heater that works fine, but no where to put it.
Here are some pics.

Oh, by the way- we ran out of money.
