Garge Doors

 
I guess they snuck in yesterday and put the garage doors on while I was picking up David at the hospital. Don't they look great!

Adam's Shower

 

They started Adam's shower today. Putting in cultured granite. Nice and smooth with no grout to keep clean!

Office Floor Laid Today

 
Today they laid the dining room and office flooring. Is beautiful. I think I will love my window seat. My glass door finally came in and were hung. Notice the etching in the glass to match the window panes.

Ready to Pour Sidewalk

 
They have the forms in place to pour the sidewalk. Too windy today with 60mph winds in some places. Still need to wrap the posts and put the rails up. Was suppose to have 3 front steps but oops.. to close to ground. How did that happen?????

Siding

 
They started putting on the siding a week ago. Pale yellow if you can't tell. Will have black shutters on the front. Need to take more pics tomorrow. Drywall is done inside. Picked out paint, wood flooring, and carpet today. Almost done with decisions I hope. We will be in in just 6 more weeks. Hard to believe. Can't wait.
Showed old house today again. Is looking promising but she has to sell her house so...... keep your fingers crossed.

Adam Turns 12

 
Thought I would throw this one in just to confuse you. Here is Adam with his new 4 wheeler/snowmobile helmet from Grandma and Grandpa Leathers. Looks bigger than him.

Nook View

 
Look past the mud and snow into the distance. Won't this be a nice view to drink your coffee and look out on!
Can't wait for that first cup.

Looking Into Great Room

 
We decided to break it up a bit by putting up a wall with archway openings between the kitchen and the family room to keep noise down a little. Love the arches!

Ktchen Wall Are Up

 
This view is looking into the kitchen from the hallway.

Insulation

 
Adam doesn't look very happy helping to stuff insulation into holes left after blown in insulation.

Door Knobs

 
A few weeks ago they put on door knobs so that they could get the power hooked up, only to discover that they wouldn't get to it for several weeks.

 
On Friday, January 29, 2010 they starting setting my windows. Used windows with a prairie pane in front of house and no panes in the back so view wouldn't be blocked. Will be glad when they are all in so will be warmer in house for workers. Maybe they will get more done and show up before noon!!

Roof Ready for More Rain/Snow

 

At the end of yesterday, January 16, 2010 all roof paper was on. I picked out the shingles and they have been ordered. The roofer says once the plumber and electrician are done running their wires/lines, they will put on the shingles.
Lookin' good.

Adam - The Supervisor

 

Yesterday they put the roof paper on. Adam was right there with them making sure they were doing it right! This is a great experience for him as he learns all about building a house. He loves being with the workers.

Wall Are Up!

 

January started off slow due to cold windy conditions but now things have really taken off. The exterior walls are up, the second floor is on, the roof is on, and it is getting exciting.

HOT!

 
Adam was shoveling the snow out of the house and got hot.
