Some quick spring weather shots of the nearly complete house and yard.
Front yard sodded, landscaped, and irrigation.
Backyard seeded and fence is in.

The stakes are marking a drainage swale through the backyard. There is still a little tweaking needed to the grading to resolve some saturated ground issues at the very back of the house.

I went back a few pages and caught up...looks great Mikey and thanks for sharing so many pics!
Is there a reason you did a full reverse osmosis system, and then another one at the kitchen sink?

The reverse osmosis system just feeds the tap at the kitchen sink and the ice/water in the fridge. There are no additional filters at the sink or in the refrigerator.

Needs more Lemon Pledge
Damn, beautiful. The front lawn is amazeballs. Now I understand the need for a new mower.

I have treated water to the two hose bibs that will be used for washing the car and the deck.

Absolutely gorgeous Mike! That front yard sod looks so lush to just dive on and lay down. Can't wait to see once the backyard has grown in. Enjoy!

That particular dog used to always get the red rocket (I think it was volcano red) when he would get in the car to go to the dog park.

The dogs are confused because all of a sudden there is a use for that room.

Luminations waterproof flooring. We also used it in the upstairs bonus space.

Enjoy your stay. Take a look at the restaurants I listed in the Weekend in Chicago thread -- you will be an easy Blue Line run away from downtown too.

Gorgeous house, Mike.

I have serious barn wood door envy. You guys did a beautiful job on all of it. Wow. And the grey tones are just right. Not too blue or too brown. Very soothing and earthy. Are you pretty much settled in and able to just enjoy living there now?

Kind of. We have finally sold the old place which is a huge relief, but still working on the new. I still need to refurb my grill and set up my woodworking shop.

Congrats on selling the old place. I never ever want to do that again.
