Eau et gas à tous les étages

So, why the long silence? Well the project is in the middle phase. During this portion progress appears slowly (and doesn't photograph well). The plumbing and electrical lines were being run in the walls. Sprinkler lines were relocated and new heads installed. A new electrical panel went in. Basically all the guts (or "roughing") is going on. 
The tub and toilet carriers (wall mounted w.c.s) were installed. All the fixture controls are located and valves installed.

We had to box out and insulate the risers in the entry; a decision we made after hearing the rush of water with each flush from upstairs.

We made a couple last minute calls to leave "fragments" of the old stuff visible.
Steve's pride and joy, water and gas (for the grill) on the terrace.
The connection between the rooms made visible by the long rays of light. That's the ticket.
