We have leaks and the mud is back!

The brick and siding are almost done on the front of the house. There are just a few more spots that need work. It was extremely muddy out there today. It was definitely a boot day if you wanted to walk around the back of the house.
On the inside of the house, it looks like the drywall is completely mudded and sanded. This is the opening in the great room wall for the projector.
We have a few areas that are leaking water. This is in my sewing studio. There are some very strange roof lines over the front door which are probably the cause of this leak.
And this one is in the music room, right under the one in the sewing studio. There are also leaks between the entry and the guest bedroom and near the chimney.
The brick is all the way around the garage now and they have started the angled walls where the kitchen and master bath and kids' bath are. Most of the siding looks done on this side also.
The covered area on the patio side of the house now has the ceiling installed up underneath the roof.
Here is a closeup shot of the installed ceiling. It is a stained beadboard, I think.
I ordered the pulls and knobs for my sewing studio cabinets today. They are Atlas Modernist pulls and knobs in a brushed nickel finish.
Left knob...
Right knob...
Left pull...
Right pull...
I did a mock-up of the sewing studio cabinets using the actual chestnut stained maple slab of the Kraftmaid cabinets and shrinking the cabinet pulls and knobs down to the right size (or at least close). It isn't perfect, but it gave me an idea of where to use the left and right knobs.
