July 4th, 2013 - Update Pictures

First I'll show you the ceiling fan lights I installed over the winter, but neglected to photograph until recently.  The first two shots are of the bathroom ceiling fan, one taken from the bathroom main level up into the vaulted ceiling area, the other taken from the entry to the loft above the bathroom as its construction has progressed so far.

 

 

Here is a shot from the bottom level showing the two ceiling fans in the main living area.

This is from the west loft bedroom showing one of the main room fans and the fan in the east loft.  The west loft has an identical setup.

 

The next two pictures are open-closed shots of the hidden ladder up to the bathroom loft.  That loft is big enough to section part off for bathroom storage as well as a small sleeping room for a low-maintenance guest.

And finally, the "Battery Bench", to complete the rear wall workbench space in the shop half of the garage.  The battery bank (6-8 deep cycle batteries) will rest on the grayish colored, lower shelf in the "L" portion of the bench.  The rest will be used for more storage and work space.  Note the geothermal tubing sneaking through, and the orange pex tubing which supplies the hot water for the in-floor radiant heat.  The pump for the radiant heat is tucked under the shelf where the battery bank will rest.

I'd list what I'm planning to do next, but it seems like I'm kind of attacking a number of things at one:  Landscaping (great big rocks) is kind of an ongoing fill-in task, plumbing is still a likely next project, whether I have the vanities and kitchen sink in or not, deep-cycle batteries and solar panels would be fun to start, and even some finished walls and a woodstove chimney might move up on the list.  I guess you'll just have to wait and see (same as me).
