Here are some pics of the floors that are being put in... you can see our dining room in one picure and the hardwood is unfinished and not stained yet... but they are making real progress.. All of the tile is laid in the bathrooms and should be grouted soon.. They started on the shake shingles but the storm last night messed them up.. so hopefully that will get done this week as well as installing the garage door. Things are starting to come together... and I like things!! (which is always good, right? )

Views of the front and back... Notice they did the chimney and all of the trim on the front and back...Porches/patio are being poured Friday and Sat. and then they should be able to start getting the stone on the front andthe fireplace.





Yep, they have the drywall DONE!!! I cannot believe it! Jake our builder is saying we may be in by January now..A month ahead.. The pics above are pics of our kitchen and then the other one is the bonus room.. It is starting to look like a house now!! Exciting!!!

Details, Details









Here are some pics from 11.05- I should have more recent ones to post soon... So these pics show the trim going up... they put the "roof" on the back porch and they were working on getting the backer board for the stone that will go up on the frnt of our house. They worked on hanging the drywall and should have that done by the end of the week.

Still moving right along..




This week the brick is finished.. the things that are not covered in brick will have stone or shake shingles on it... I picked out the colors for the shake shingles and the trim/gutters on Monday. The insulating should be done soon and the dry wall guys are coming right behind.. AND we have a front door!!!! YAH! No, we dont have a doorknob or a garage door yet so we can lock it up or anything.. but I am just excited to see the little things come together as well. I can already picture a Christmas wreath on it this time next year! :) I am also posting a close up of the brick.. because love the border that I picked out AND you get a better idea of the color of the brick that way..
