The insulation is installed until the drywall is completed and they can blow in more for the attic.  The metal strips are called sound channels.  They dampen the sound between floors. (Something new.) 

 The sills are installed at the top of the stonework.  This is the door from the kitchen.  More work to be done for the stairs and landscaping.

 The screened porch is looking great.  The stonework for the inside of the fireplace still has to be done.  This is going to be a great place to relax.

 The stones for the floor of the beach side porch have been cut and laid out waiting to be installed.

The sills at the top of the stones for the screened porch is being installed.  You can see the mortar between the stones before it is smoothed out.

This is just some of the duct work for the geothermal system.  A lot of planning went into this project.

The house is looking better all the time.  The drywall will start to be installed tommorrow.  That will take about a month to complete.  The build is ahead of schedule so far.  You never know what will happen next.  I will try to keep you updated of the progress.
