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? )

We got Stone

Here are a couple of shots of the stone... YAH! I really like the brick trim around the windows and doors.. And yes, that is our front door... it will be stained or painted later...

Below are just some pics of the front and the front porch... YAH! They started laying tile as well... and are done with the drywall.. we are moving right along.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

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..

More Brick

Here are some pics from the excitement that has happening.. the first set was taken on 10.24 and the second set was taken 10.27.. they are completely done with the brick now.. and we are getting the insulation done right now and the porches, steps and turnaround for drive way should be poured this week we hope...YAH!

Brick.... HOUSE

Yep, we got some brick on finally.. ( i say finally like it has been a long time?? really doesnt seem like it!) They started Wed/Thurs. and I may post some additional pics tonight because they were able to get alot more done over the weekend.. We are hoping for some rain so we can see how the roof does and then the dry wall will come and possibly the porches will be poured and the front doors might be delivered.. Things are moving right along.. I went and tried to start picking out my floors too this week (whew! )

Oh and on a less exciting but totally ness. note.. we got our septic tank and water line dug. Carter and I went out one night and he was sooo excited to see the mini loader, excavator and dump truck there working... Here are some pics of him standing at the tip top of a big rock pile and then here he is playing in Clint's much coveted crawl space under our house.. He is in the envy of his friends because he doesnt have to crawl in the crawl space..
