We stopped at 2 tractor places this morning. DH had already decided on a Kubota so we just needed to check out a couple of different dealerships. We were using the GPSr to locate the first one, when we decided we must have passed the place. I'm not sure how we missed it, as there were all these HUGE, very orange tractors next to the road! We must have really been in la-la land when we drove past it. :-D 
I think we've decided on the B3030 tractor and attachments so we can mow, smooth gravel, landscape, etc.
We headed to the house after our tractor shopping trip. The carpenters were back today and they had put in the half wall between the kitchen and family room.
They were also working to open up the ceiling over the master bathroom tub. Originally it looked like this, with a flat area over the tub (this photo taken from above the tub, from the kids' bathroom in the attic)...
And now it looks like this, with the ceiling opened up to the area beside the kids' bathroom on the attic level (this photo taken from the master bathroom, standing where the tub will be and looking up into the kids' bathroom)...
They were also framing-in the master bathroom tub...
And DD will be excited to see that her window seat has finally been put in. It's really big - we could get rid of her bed and she could just sleep on the window seat! I'll eventually make a cushion for the seat...
The electric, heating, and plumbing guys were all working on things today. This is a photo taken in my sewing studio. Because of the way that the steel beams and joists run, there needed to be a soffit built in my sewing studio to contain the heating and A/C ducts. The soffit will be over the wall of cabinets, over the door and in front of the closet. We started with 9' ceilings in there, so it doesn't feel closed-in at all.

I'm so jealous about that tractor! Here I am trying to find a good "budget" lawn tractor, when what we really need is something like that bad boy. Oh well I'll get something I can mow our acreage with this year, and I'll have to save any projects for the future.
Maybe I can make friends with the farm down the road and borrow their tractor as needed for the season.
