Electric, plumbing, doors, tubs!

So, the electric and plumbing was started, we have our tub in the main bathroom and the shower in the master bathroom, and they took the cover off of the door so now you can see what it looks like. We ended up changing the doors for the interior. They will still be the 2 panel arch except they will have lines down the middle...I thought they were cute. What else...ummm, the picture of the house was taken before the storm on Friday...it doesn't look like that anymore, haha! A lot of the tar paper was ripped off...not too bad tho. But the house is ready for siding and shingles...so hopefully by Friday we will see one or both of those. The picture of the window is a view of our kitchen...I don't think I've ever posted a pic of it before. It isn't a huge kitchen but it's big enough for us. We had a house appt. last week where we picked out the rest of the colors and other stuff. We decided to get the same color cabinets in the bathrooms that we have in the kitchen. The paint color we picked is called china doll and it is a really pretty dark tan...that will go all throughout the house. The sink colors for the bathroom will be almond/white. We didn't get a chance to pick out vinyl colors because she didn't have the samples with her so we might upgrade to wood laminate....which I think will be so pretty. It all depends on how much more expensive it is. So we'll see.

Windows, Doors and Shingles Oh My!

Okay so we have windows, which you already knew, and dooooors! AND the shingles are ready to be put on! Yay! The front door will be painted burgundy to match the shutters and we'll probably just leave the garage door white. The door is a 2 panel arch door instead of a 6 panel. It was an upgrade that we got for free. So all of the interior doors will match that. You'll see it soon. Haha! But anyway, we walked through the house today and it seemed a lot bigger for some reason. Maybe because they took all of the support beams or whatever out. I just can't wait until it is DONE! I'm ready to start decorating!!!!!!!!!

We have windows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes!!!!! Definitely was not expecting this to happen today....so, very exciting!! We also got a call today from Meridith and she said that the plumbing and electric peoples will be out on Friday! Yaaay! Sorry the picture isn't that great. I spent the evening at Kyle's and couldn't wait until tomorrow to see it so I stopped by on my way home....and then my camera died. I did go in to look around and we have our sliding glass door installed too. Hopefully tomorrow I can get out there during the day to get a better picture. I love the windows tho! They are super cute. I am just a little disappointed tho because the back 3 living room windows aren't like the front windows. They are just plain. Oh well, not a big deal. I'm still happy!

More roof work...

Well, they skipped a day of work...not sure why. But the following day they added more tar paper and that's about it. This part seems to be taking awhile tho. Which, whatever. We originally wanted our house to be done by June 22nd so we could get the first time home buyers tax credit, but we went to H&R Block last week and it looks like we're getting it anyway. So, that is super exciting. We still want our house to be done asap, but no worries if it takes a little longer. I'm hoping to be able to post a good picture on Friday with maybe some shingles or windows or SOMETHING other than this house made of lumber. We'll just have to wait and see!

The roof has been started!

So the plywood boards and tar paperwas started. Which means, they will hopefully be putting up shingles tomorrow. Yay! My step-dad went over there today and talked to the construction workers about the house. He made up a story about how he had relatives looking for a house in this area and was wondering if they decided to build a house with them, about how long would it take from start to finish. They explained to him all that goes into it and kind of explained where they were on our house. They said that this house could very well be done by the end of this month. So that was exciting to hear. Maybe they will be done on time. I will be shocked if they are.

More framing!!!!!!!!

This was even more exciting! We got to see how the vaulted ceilings would look...we like! It seems like they're sooo close but there is still sooo much left to do. But, it only took them 3 days to do the floor and frame all of this....so that gives us hope. We'll just have to see I guess. The second picture is a view of the living room and dining room. You can see the pantry to the very left and the kitchen is in front. The pantry is the only thing that separates these 3 rooms. That window is facing the back of the house...pretty sweet view. And then the sliding glass doors in the dining room. You can kind of see the vaulted ceiling too! Kyle's mom and little sister came with us...that's who you see in the pictures...haha!

Can't wait to see what they do tomorrow!

Lots of framing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was very exciting to see this! We got to go in and walk around and see how it was gonna look...kind of. It was neat. This is the part I was looking forward to the most...besides it being done! But yes, they are moving very quickly on this house...hopefully it stays this way.
