Almost closed in...










Now taking reservations... picture a railing on the porch, a little grass in the backyard. If we were trying to sell it, we would say 5 bedroom, 3 bath. But the upstairs will probably be a game/media room eventually with a wet bar and big screen. That room may be waiting to be finished, though. I still can't decide how to do the floor - wood laminate or carpet. We were debating about a metal roof, but are thinking that we will go for shingles. I am worried about color coordination between the stucco, rock facing, and roof. Mom has that eye for things, but I just can't picture it all together in BIG size. The guest rooms are on the front of the house, closest to the garage. The closets are VERY spacious. My laundry room is HUGE! Going to have to do some serious planning so that it isn't wasted space. It's perfect, though, for storage of extra food stuff, pet items, and cleaning supplies. Andy has mentioned that I need to start packing things (although I think it may be a couple of months, yet). I will be having a large yard sale...things that I haven't needed in the last year (really not needed, not just didn't have space for).

Who should join the circus?





Here are some shots of Denton and Buckley(BC Custom Builders) up on the rooftop...lining up our trusses. We have a half-roof line. It's a muddy mess right now, but hopefully soon it'll be closed in.

Can You Picture It Now????



Here is our house as of this afternoon.... We have framed walls and OSB around the whole house. Next come the floor joists for the bonus room. Denton, Buckley, Andy, and Scott (our neighbor) have been working pretty hard to get this enclosed before any more weather moves in. Hopefully we're clear for the next week or so. Sarah steals the carpentry pencils and runs off, but I found her hide out today and brought a few back.

Andy, Denton, and Buckley completed almost all the walls. We're supposed to have clear weather for a while. Andy spent a lot of the day sweeping and hauling off snow from the pad. On the left is our house on Sunday morning, on the right is our house Tuesday.

And then there were walls...



So...in between storms, Andy and Denton, Buckley, and Jeremy got most of the walls up. There is one more garage wall and the interior walls, but here's what the outside looks like. Today it's got snow and icicles hanging from the window frames. I'm so excited!
