New Porch & Doors

We have a new concrete porch now and we have interior doors. The kids learned alot just watching the whole thing, Alec even got to use a nail gun!

Drywall Finished And Waterproofing

The kids were very amazed by the handy ride on skid steer thing the waterproofing guys had. I have to admitt Iwas too. The drywall is finished these are not the final pics. of that just a few I had on the camera. Things have been a little crazy around here lately the sinks been clogged for weeks. Between school, dishes, & laundry I haven't had time to take pics.

I am also picking colors for the walls and its starting to look like the set of Designing Women around here between the paint swatches and the tile bords. I am starting to see why people get paid to do this. I am thinking pale green up here for the kids common area, green is calming thats very important! Trim is going up currently I will post those pics this week.

Drilling The Wells and Burning The Steps

The first pictures are of the drilling rig drilling the wells for the geo thermal heat and air. The hit limestone so the water and all the ground around it had lime on it and in it the ground is still white.

We got the old porch removed and now there is a block wall around that dirt that I forgot to take a picture of but I got a picture of Wyatt helping with the mortor. The old steps are on the fire in the picture at the bottom here .

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.
