Progress on S. Pine Island Rd...part 2

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile.  The business and the family are keeping me very busy!  One of the projects that I think is coming along really nicely is the house on S. Pine Island Rd so I thought I'd share some progress photos.  It's at the stage where you can begin to see the final outcome and you know its going to be awesome.
 
Here is the view from the front as of today:
 
The combination of cedar, metal, brick and stone look great together.
 
In the entry foyer, there is a cathedral ceiling with beams and brick walls.  This look is very popular and is impressive when you enter the home. 


This picture is standing in the living room looking into the kitchen.  (Sorry for the broom and my kid in the picture!)  The painters are working on staining the cabinets (the reason for no doors) but you can still get a feel for how the colors and material choices are starting to look. 
The fireplace in the living room still needs to be dressed up with mantel and TV, etc but the stone turned out beautifully.

 
This is the view from the back with the great back porch:

 
And finally, one of the not-so-glamorous parts of the job....the septic system.  They were setting the tank when I was out taking photos, so here ya go!  The septic system is one of necessary "extras" with rural living.  There's no city sewer out here.
