For a second week in a row, the interior of the 2010 Coastal Living Magazine Ultimate Beach House is making steady progress!

Insulation, provided by our sponsor Johns Manville, is all but done and should be completed tomorrow. You can see how the interior of the house looks with insulation in the picture updates below.

We also have pictures of the air jet tub and fireplace (by Fireplace Extrordinair). The wooden surround on the fireplace was put in place this week and we were finally able to snap some pictures of the Mirabella air jet tub that is quietly waiting for everything else around it to be finished.

The exterior of the house is seeing some significant improvements as well. The trellis, in-between the guest house and garage, is up and awaiting light fixtures for completion. It really is a great aesthetic touch to the back of the house. Again, pictures of it are right below.

The plan for next week is to begin sheet rocking and continue with the siding of the house. In a couple weeks we are expecting the hardwood floors provided by Armstrong and the tiles in the bathrooms.

Hope you enjoy this week’s picture updates, can’t wait to see how the Idea House is going to look like next week!

Wow, is it really March already? This year is going by really fast, and the 2010 Coastal Living Magazine Idea House is coming together just as quickly!

The interior structure of the Ultimate Beach House was mostly worked on this last week and our construction workers made a good start on the insulation of the house. In the meantime, the air jet tub was installed and is in place, temporarily protected from surrounding construction.

The air jet tub is provided by Ferguson and is of the Mirabelle Edenton edition with an air bath option.

On the exterior, siding of the idea house has also begun, with a lot more progress expected in the next couple weeks.

Finally, a fireplace planned for the South wall of the beach home should be put in place by the end of next week, although that will depend on the progress of the rest of the interior.

Here are the picture updates from this week. We didn’t get a chance to uncover the jet tub and snap some photos of it, but as soon as we have the clear from our Project Manager, we will be uploading pictures of that and other small additions to the 2010 Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House.

Just a reminder, Spring Break is approaching mighty fast! It is a great time for many to spend some time on the beach at Seabrook and preview the progress of the Idea House first hand! To find out more about Seabrook and how you can stay here, visit our About Seabrook page.

February has blessed us with near-perfect conditions for construction work on the Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House. As promised, the roof is now complete as well is all electrical work inside the house!

Putting in the insulation should also begin this Monday, since the framing and electrical installation is completed. During the electrical wiring, an 18 KW backup generator system was installed as well as full wiring support for surround sound throughout the Idea House.

An air jet tub is coming in this week from Ferguson – our sponsor donating all the sinks and tubs in the Ultimate Beach House. As soon as it arrives, it will be put in place and pictures of it will be up immediately.

You can view this week’s pictures right below. The 2010 Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House looks glorious in the surprisingly gorgeous winter weather!

The winter storms seem long gone and sunshine has been glazing the Washington Coast for most of February. Under such perfect conditions, the Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House is making very steady progress.

The roofing of the idea house, as previously announced, has begun and is well under way. The garage and guest house have been finished, and so has the breezeway connecting the guest house. The roof of the main house is now the last part to complete, and as soon that is done next week, you will be the first to see it right here on the Ultimate Beach House blog. The whole roof has been a donation from Best Shingle Sales, Inc. from Hoquiam, a local roofing company that has supplied Seabrook with Number One Grade shingles and shakes.

The set up of utilities in the interior of the house is also moving along. Electricians expect to be done and out by Friday, and plumbing is also being completed by the end of the week. In the meantime, a fire sprinkler system is being implemented all throughout the idea house.

You can view the idea house pictures from this week right below. Enjoy the sunny oceanfront shots directly from our Northwest Glen neighborhood!

The first month of the year has quickly gone by, but the Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House has seen steady progress. Installation of the windows is all but done, and plumbing is also nearing completion. Electricians are starting work on Monday as the interior of the beach house is quickly taking shape as well.

The next big step is the roof – the house is prepared and workers are starting early next week. As soon as they do, you’ll be able to see the action right here on Seabrook’s Ultimate Beach House website.

The 2010 Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House is moving along faster than a speeding bullet! After completing the framing of the first & second floor in late December, and the garage & guest house in early January, the breezeway roof connecting the main house & guest house has now been finished. You can find framing pictures of the breezeway right below.

The windows for the idea house, supplied by Andersen Windows, have also been delivered to the building site and are being installed. The windows are of the highest quality and are in line with the products used at Seabrook for all beach cottages. “They should be in place by the end of next week” – confirmed Terry Howe, Seabrook’s Construction Project Manager that oversees the on-site construction of this year’s Coastal Living Idea House.

As the workers focused on the back of the house, we managed to sneak inside and snap some pictures of the stunning oceanfront view from the front porch of the Ultimate Beach House. Be sure to browse the absolutely breathtaking views pictured at the end of this post.

Next on the list is the roofing of the idea house, so stay tuned for more updates and pictures next week!

Remember seeing the walls of the Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House go up a couple weeks ago? Well now they are all finished, including the ones for the garage and guest house. If you haven’t had the chance to stop by Seabrook and see the progress first hand – don’t worry, we’ve got you covered here at the Ultimate Beach House Blog. It’s been a warm, sunny week on the Washington Coast, which has inspired us to snap some action photos of the latest Idea House construction. Below you will find the most recent images of the soon to be ultimate oceanfront house in the Pacific Northwest.

The Idea House has definitely seen rapid progress in the last month.

As you can see in the pictures below, the framing of the basement has been completed and the construction team has begun the first and second floor as well.
