Getting Anxious!

Today we spent the day just admiring all the advancements and customization in the house. We're getting so close, and getting extremely anxious to move in (hopefully by the end of November...hopefully). Here's where we're at...

Special Delivery

Drywall is still coming along, but lots of materials were dropped off at the house this week. Brick, stone, and more insulation for the garage. Who insulates a garage? I asked the same thing - but apparently we do.

I think these images illustrate the layout of the house. Yes, it took me this long to finally determine what our house would look like. As I mentioned before - I don't follow blueprints very well.

With this week winding down, here is where we landed.....

The entry-way

Our front lawn right now. Looks like a dumping ground

Our HOME!

It's Been Awhile...

It's been over a month since I last blogged about the house and a lot has changed. Mostly behind the scenes work like electrical, plumbing, insulation...all of these things are rather boring to me. I am just anxiously awaiting something I can DECORATE!

I know all these little pieces are part of the larger puzzle, so here is how our puzzle is fitting together...
Hopefully more to come soon - brick is next on the list.

Fast Frame-Work

Over the past 2 weeks our entire house has been framed and all the walls are roughed in. This is great for me...I can finally begin to visualize what this house will look like. It's so difficult (for me anyway) to look a blueprint and determine how something comes to life.

I'm glad things seem to be shaping up well, because there isn't much I could possibly do about the design or layout now...the foundation is done, and walls are up - so this is it. I have to admit, I relayed heavily on Bob and his reassurance that I would love the layout...and I do.

Here are some pictures of how things have really developed over the past few weeks....
