| The pencil sketch is how I described what I want this to look like. | Dave Barlow is single-handedly building the entire ceiling and does great detailed, finish work. | The wood is hand-picked to match the grains and color for adjoining pieces. The bottom pieces are put in first; glued and toe-nailed. Once dry, the sides are put in. |

| The first cabinets arrived in the master bathroom. | The cabinets are made of American Cherry. Look closely at the center of the toe kick. There is a rectangle cut in there for the electric heater. | All that is left is the ceiling and floor. The ceiling has to be done because it is a steam shower and will be completely sealed. |
