Getting to the Interior Details (finally!)

Now that the major pours have been completed,  the more interesting work on the inside.  One of the areas I have been looking forward to is the foyer ceiling. For years I have imagined a domed and vaulted ceiling for this round room, and it has been great to get started.  First,  we built 6 plywood "rib" structures.    

These rib structures were mounted on each structural pole,  meeting in the center.

Another interesting area is the music nook off of the livingroom.  When plastered,  the nook ceiling will follow the shape that I formed in the concrete beam.

The electrician and the HVAC crews have been busy.  Most of the electrical on the first floors is done,  and most has been inspected and approved.  

The recessed lighting fixtures have also been installed.  When the wiring runs parallel to the AmDeck, the wires run inside the channels formed in the foam,  but when we need to run perpendicular to the AmDeck,  a channel needed to be cut as shown below.

The HVAC crew installed a large rectangular duct on the drop ceiling space above the 1/2 bath and portion of the kitchen. This will go from the 2nd heater located in the crawl space behind the kitchen and will service the entire 2nd floor.  

The wall oven arrived,  and it's HEAVY!  It took 4 of us to carry it up the path to the kitchen and I'm thinking it will stay right where it is until it gets installed!

After I got the 7 day test reports for the concrete,  I started removing the shoring. 

 It was great to see my arch going into the tower bedroom that I had imagined for so long!

The rest of the shoring would have to wait until the big weekend!
