Wrapping up the Inside . . .

This is several different angles of our new master bedroom . . .

Carpet has been laid and doors have been in put in place. 

Plumber and electrician came any finished what they could

and HVAC also was completed!

Walk in closet.   Sorry it is kind of tricky getting a feel.

Imagine a mirror image on the other side.  My side - Kyle's side.

Pretty basic bathroom - all the essentials.

We opted for one sink and more cabinets

because I always brushed my teeth in

Kyle's sink anyway.  Our shower door

won't come for another week or so.

This is a view of the new bonus room.  I love the

big windows that face west.  They let in a lot of light.

I also love the south facing doors.  I don't have any

windows that have ever faced that direction so I'm

really enjoying the different view from our home.

The kids are having a ball just running circles -

It's something about new territory to discover.

We got the air hocky table a year or two ago, at

RCWilley's as an add on to another purchase.

Now we have someplace to put it.

The finished family room finally cleaned back up!  Ya!

The exterior is coming along also.  The brickers will finish up today.

And I suspect the stucco(ers) will be shortly behind them.  Siding,

facia and raingutter will be finished after that, as will exterior lighting.

As for now, we will really enjoy the extra room on the inside and

worry about the landscaping in the spring.

Windows and Roof

As you can tell, there has been more progress on

the remodel.  They finished tying in the roof lines

today and layed tar paper down.

It is amazing how a builder can tie in a project so it doesn't

even look like an afterthought . . . good thing, huh!

Clate is having a hard time getting K&K to deliver him

a dumpster.  He hoped tomorrow might be the day!

Can you get a feel for how it is going to look?  Jones' has got

some different grids to match the rest of the house ordered.

If molly is out her kennel, this is about as far as

Camrie is willing to poke her nose out!

Molly is in her kennel most of the day while the workers are here.

So when we let her out she is crazy.  Running, jumping,

rolling in the grass and chewing on anything she can find!

Walls & Trusses

The great big window in our room will

be popped-out into a dormer with a window box.

Little bit different angle. 

This is the northeast side.  Bedroom / bathroom

I'm excited to see how it all ties together.

 - Bonus room -

Clate said he thought windows

would be going in tomorrow.

The whole re-do on landscaping is a

little overwelming at this point.

On the upside - I'll have a whole winter to think about!

More Progress . . .

It is amazing how many different steps there are

in building a house or even just adding on to a house.

This last week we saw more progress on our addition.  The lumber was delivered and the floor joists, plywood flooring and a couple of walls were added.  A couple of guys came yesterday and took off siding and brick.  It was really loud and I was pretty sure they were going to break clear through to the inside!

It is going to a beautiful week.  Lots of sunshine and nice cool temperature.  Hopefully we will see lots of progress this week.  I'll keep you posted!

We're glad they got a floor down because there was a great big hole knocked in the foundation,

but they moved pretty fast and got things sealed up.

We see progress . . .

We are adding on to our home . . . we have footings and foundation walls.

The kids think it looks like a great swimming pool if they could just

figure out how to fill it with water.  This is looking west, just off the north

side of the house.  This is where our bedroom and bath will be located.

This is the back view of the addition looking north. 

This will be a bonus room.
