Feburary 27 Update

After just one week the entire house has been framed, the roof is up, and the arches outside and inside have been partially done, and the windows have almost been all installed! Next week our foreman told us that heating, electricity, and insulation will be done. We will see:) Today we went back to the carpet store, and we changed our minds from our previous choice. We love the new carpet we chose...it's a new one the carpet store just got! P.S. it was freaking hilarious watching Cindy Lou jump out the back door onto a bail of hay! Linzi and Shane hopefully will be coming to walk through it pretty soon too! Dad and Mom will have to keep the updating online for right now, but we are excited for you guys to walk through it too when it's completed! Dad is keeping us on our toes with all the inspection things to be looking out for. Oh, all the trash and extra boards in the front of the house are all picked up now!

Now it's a house

Well after one day of being in classes all night I came home tired and exhausted. James told me to look at some pictures he had taken on our camera, because he had gone by the house. Oh my goodness! I was sooo excited! They have been working like crazy! As you can see the house is pretty well framed...I'm looking forward to when the walls are up so I can visualize it a bit better!

Home Sweet I Can Start To See A Home

Yay for the clear weather this weekend....you can see our house now has the basement and first floor framed...one more floor to go! Hopefully by the end of the week they may even have the house framed on the inside....I'm keeping my fingers crossed! It's looking like a wonderful start!

It All Begins With a Good Foundation!

This is the beginning of the foundation being poured. Already within a couple of days it looks so different. I need to go take a few more pictures! I think they are going to begin framing this week or next. We had an ugly snow storm yesterday yikes!!!! Yay for mom....she's coming in town today so James and I are excited to show her our house and where we will be living!

And Then There Was LIGHT!

James and I bought garage lights last night for our house! We love them! We have had our eyes on this one for a few months now. Always came back to this one so we bought three of em'....two for the garage door and one for the front porch! Can't wait to see what they look like when the house is done! Sorry the picture is so small...the lights are really quite large...promise!!! haha!

February Week 1

It's a muddy mess!

James lookin good!

I just want to jump in it! haha!

They finally dug a hole!!!! Woooohooo!!!

Let the Digging Begin!

Last Friday James and I signed the last of the papers for all of the permits and city regulations! In the meantime, we have been busy picking out all of the colors for the interior and exterior of the home. We also picked out our granite, tile, cabinets, fireplace mantle, lighting, and oh the list goes on and on. It has been so fun and so exhausting!!! James and I bought a chandelier for the entryway that we can't wait to put up! Pictures are coming as soon as the foundation is poured should be any day!
