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!

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.
