Had a pre-drywall walkthrough with Chuck on Wednesday, so no call from him today.

The house is really coming along--it's actually beginning to feel like a house. This week the electrical and exterior insulation was installed, so everything looks pink. Here's another look at the 2nd floor living room today (compare it with last week's):

A shot of the 3rd floor master bedroom:

And a few more images around the house:

One thing I wanted to mention was a design option that I opted for called a "smurf tube". It basically is a tube integrated into the wall allowing cables to be easily passed through. The one I chose in particular was for the living room TV area. The cost?

Expensive right? Yeah, a bit. But I know that it'd be something I'd regret when it comes time to wall mount my TV with cables dangling about. The cost is worth it.

Today I was reminded of what it actually is--a tube nailed to some wood.

That cost one-hundred and thirty-five dollars. Amazing.
