Laminate Picked

This is my laminate sample I picked out yesterday after hours of agonizing I finally picked this one with Lisa and Nana's help. The walls will be goldish yellow and the cabinets are dark. I can't wait to see it all together. Now wish me luck on the rest of the house.

Drywall Going Up!

The drywall started Yesterday and they almost have the whole house hung!! I could not believe the progress from that morning , to that evening. It might help that we took them a big box of Krystals. Today when I went by the lunch they had smelled a lot better than Krystals. Today they started taping and mudding and that is going quickly too.

Dirt Bike Kids

Alec and Beth riding the motor bikes we got them last week. They rode all day Saturday and Sunday so now they have blisters on their hands. Wyatt hasn't wanted to ride yet I am sure once he starts he won't stop either.

Insulation In... Old Porch Going Out

Insulation is finished and the drywall was delivered today. We plan on the drywall going up this week and that means I need to pick colors. I am a little overwhelmed with the color picking for the whole house!

We had to change our plans of keeping the old porch so, now we have to remove the old one. In the next picture you can see the bars to hold up the concrete for the new porch.

Front Porch Siding

LOOK !! The siding is done !! I love seeing a house instead of wooden sticks. I am very happy with the colors, now to see if the rain will stop so we can get a concrete truck in the yard to finish up the supports. The Insulation is finished on the inside, Andy took pictures of that. The front doors are in and the metal is wrapped around the top of the porch. We are in the process of deciding if we need to put shutters on the dormers or not.

Christmas Pictures

I fixed Andys favorite sleeping bag that his parents gave him for his present.

Front Doors and Siding For Chirstmas

My white dormers look even better with trim around them. The front porch looks great almost fully covered with siding. Our front doors are installed but not finished they still need some wood dividers added to the glass to divide the window into thirds. It will be stained too later. The front porch needs to be poured and some supports too. It is hard to get people to work in single didget temps. I can't say that I blame them though.
