Looks awesome! Building is a lot of fun, and lots of decisions to make, lots. We just finished an extensive remodel (about 8 months worth). Loved it and happy with the finished product.

A few things I took away from my recent experience:

Get the best windows you can afford. Windows are so important.

Make sure all plumbing is easily accessible in the event of a leak.

Wire for indoor and outdoor speakers, etc. now.

Put dimmers in key lighting areas such as bedrooms and bathrooms as well as common areas. We put in Lutron and have been happy so far.

Check out Nest for smoke alarm, thermostat, etc.

Finally, enjoy this process!

I’m subscribed and look forward to watching the progress.
