Kitchen, hearth progress, other homey details

While inspecting progress on my house's renovation, tunes from an iPod purred throughout the in-ceiling speakers. Everyday, the place feels more like home.
Excluding a breaker upgrade from 30 to 50 amps, the cooktop, down-draft, and dishwasher are installed! I've already taken an induction-capable pot for testing.
Lighting fixture is nearly installed over the island. After James has a chance to weight in on hanging height, the excess wire will be trimmed and tucked.
Fridge in place, but its height required some minor modification to the cabinets above. Also, where you see a white ice chest, the double ovens are to be installed... after they arrive in 2 weeks.
The hearth in the living room is halfway there! This section is drying so that it can better support the next layer of stone. Once finished, the wood-burning stove takes stage.
Hung, but not yet wired, the last ceiling fan, which is in the master bedroom.
Other details include:
  • Moisture barrier installed on nearly all the floors, including the stairs.
  • Paint details throughout the entire house.
  • Moisture barrier and exterior for the chimney nearly finished.
  • Radiant heat pad ready to install, and then we tile the family room and entryway!
