Most of this week’s work was on the interior. On Thursday, the crew built the bumpout for the direct-vent gas fireplace that will be in the living room. I am sorry to report that a required front glass panel will preclude the indoor roasting of chestnuts.

Also on Thursday, Sam and Dan built the deck for the master bathroom soaking tub, which is a Kohler Purist. The tub included a paper template (for installation), which the guys were able to use as a template for the deck. They did a really nice job in just a couple of hours.
We’re still trying to figure out how many Koi will fit in it.

As you can see, we also have some insulation at this point. Even with only half of the batting in, the house is already better insulated than the old house.
Here’s the happy, well-insulated place where my shoes will live with John’s blue shirts. (And where Briar will probably hide out during thunderstorms.)

Someone on the crew was creative in letting light in.
