Apparently, my dad found it (and purchased it) while browsing in a knick-knack store, waiting for his laundry to be done at the laundromat. Retirement has changed all sorts of things about my dad! (I added the blue painters tape to cover the n't on isn't and added a +.)
The exterior of the house is complete. The interior framing is complete. The rough electrical is complete. The rough plumbing is being worked on this week. After that is the HVAC. Then the drywall, electrical, plumbing, painting, flooring.
Before the electrical wires were strung, Ryan took the boys upstairs for a nerf gun war. They reported a lot of fun. No pictures were taken. Ryan and I are installing an intercom system in our house and so we're drilling, wiring, cutting.
We've run into a couple of problems putting in the intercom. We cut a hole for the master unit on a wall to find a couple of extra 2x4s that cannot be removed. We cut another hole for the master unit on a different wall and then, while drilling holes to feed the wires down, we found a horizontal 2x4 about 27 inches from the ceiling and 15 inches from the hole downstairs. Ryan had to put his arm and drill in the hole and drill from the bottom. So the several-hour project for us to do together, turned into a multi-night affair. The whole-house intercom with mp3 playing capabilities should be well worth it.

The very thought of putting your arm into a wall, fighting off spiders, drilling into something from the bottom without seeing it, feeling wood chippings & dead spiders landing on you, is just mindblowing manliness.
