Welcome back to the forum and very nice job on the house!

Colors and decor look great.

I just got caught back up with this. Wow o wow!

I can see so many small details you folks added.

That safe room is awesome. Is it possibly fire proof for a period of time?

Love the poochy tub. And the pinball machine.

I would guess the room is fireproof - period. However - I wouldn't want to personally test it with the lack of oxygen! LOL

You are sooooo right on the details. We spent 1000s of hours chasing the right light fixtures, researching windows, looking at granite in 3 states, changing the floorplan as we went along, getting trusses to support 30' wide vaults on the porches without a center column, custom entry doors, tile murals, designing a wall of appliance garages for the kitchen with their own power, and more I can't even remember.

My biggest fail was overlooking power outlets and data connections under the roof eaves for cameras. I haven't given up on this but it will be a giant pain in the rear now - due to no easy way to cable across the living area vault.

Forgot to address the pinball machine in my last post :)

The machine is a vintage Twilight Zone. They can be pricey but ours was given to us. We did send it out to be refurbished and except for a little wear on the cabinet - it plays like new.
