Pennsylvania New Home Build Thread. An attempt.

Still working on trim slowly but surely, so not much to update. I do have a finished photo of the front of the house (minus the stone work and beam wrapping I need to do this summer)

 

[EddieWalker]

Winter is a good time to do trim. Looks too cold to do anything outdoors there!!!

 

[MGH PA]

Trim is all done, nail holes filled, seams caulked, etc.

The hardest part to trim was here:



Now on to the outside!

Very nice attention to detail!!!!

 

[MGH PA]

Thanks everyone. A lot of work, but glad I got it done. So many people told me it would be years before I finished it since I was moving into an unfinished house.

Finished our back splash and installed the pot fillers while on quarantine:



I hired our masons to come back and stone the fireplace since I didn't want to mess with it. All I did was hang the Durock and my dad cut the beams and we installed them (120+ year old chestnut logs). Turned out great:



Living room all finished:

What's the stainless steel looking extendable arm over the cooktop?

Thanks for the update pics!!!!

 

[ZTMAN]

that arm is a pot filler. Put water in pots while on the stove.

Pot filler, to fill big pots.

HAHA........

I'm not a huge fan of it, but it's what she wanted. You know how that goes, right?:laughing:

Wow what a dream home. Very beautiful.

Absolutely!!! Does the drawer in front of the cooktop tip out to expose the controls?

 

[MGH PA]

Nope, that's a false drawer face. The stove controls are all touch control (it's an induction stove).

Of course, never thought of that. Terry's has knobs on top of the surface.

Does your wife get snippy if you use the stovetop as a counter top???

What she doesn't know can't hurt...me.:laughing:

Ours is in the middle of an island with countertop at each end. It's so easy to just extend over onto the stove top...…. We've been in a year and I'm much better. I at least avoid letting her see me now.
