Break from Building for Hunting!

Tom got to take a break from picking out cabinet hardware and paint colors and doing something much more fun for him...turkey hunting! Here's his big bird, the first of many I'm sure!

Thanks to Dad and Uncle Ron for all the pointers! Big success!

Extreme close up!

Busy Couple of Days!

The contractors have been busy the last few days. Here is the start of the laminate wood floor that will run throughout the house.

Bill (the tile installer) gave us some great ideas on the fireplace. We are so happy with how it turned out.

Bill and Ben (his brother) installed the slate tile floor in the entry way. It matches the fireplace and looks amazing! The floor and the fireplace both get an enhancer/sealer that should really make the colors pop.

Our dishwasher and microwave got delivered. What other appliances do you need?

The ground around the house got graded as well. I think it gets an A+!

The siding has started to go on the back. They should be working on that all next week. We are getting close. We are about 3 weeks away from move in!

Masonry Work

The mason has started some of the outside work. Here are the porch columns!

A close up of the columns.

Here's a close up of the masonry work on the front of the house.

Here's the new garage door and the masonry work.

Here is the siding...in boxes in the garage...maybe next week!

More siding.

Paint!

The kitchen! I know it's bright but I know it will look great. Check out the granite!

More granite and the kitchen sink!

This is the master bathroom.

This is the master bedroom.

More master bedroom and tray ceiling.

This is the laundry room (the half bath is the same color). It's hard to see but it is orange like sherbert!

This is the full bathroom between the two bedrooms.

Another shot of the bathroom.

The two bedrooms are the same color, kayak brown.

Ready for Paint and the Staining is complete!

The painter is prepping the house for work. Hopefully it will be colorful in the next couple of weeks!

The stain is complete. This is from the garage into the house.

The mantel looks great in person! The detail is great.

The staircase downstairs look great in the darker stain.

The New Driveway and Back Door!

Here is the concrete slab on the lower level, outside of the sliding door.

Heree is the garage path to the house.

Another shot of the sidewalk path to the house.

Here's the whole shot!

They started yesterday and here's what it looked like! What a difference a day makes!

Cabinets and Stairs--the almost Finish Product

Glen has wrapped up at our house. Here is what the staircase looks like.

More of a close up of the staircase.

Here are the cabinets in the kitchen. We only need the counter tops, flooring, paint and appliances. Wow! That is not as close to the finish product as I thought!
