House Update

I've been out to check on the progress of our new home a few times since my last update. There has been a lot done that will not be seen once we move in such as wiring, plumbing, and ducting. Very important parts of the house puzzle, but stuff I don't know too much about...if you want details on any of those systems, you'll have to talk to Carl! While waiting for the weather to improve enough to build the garage and then complete the roof (no more snow, please!), Carl has been doing as much as he can in the basement and has completed almost all of the drywall other than the walls around the stairs. Its pretty cool to stand in my future laundry room, feel how much space the kids will have to play in the basement, and imagine living there. The kids, dogs, and I had fun visiting on Saturday before the snow his on Sunday. I'm really excited to see how different the house will look once the garage goes up and the roof and siding can go on. The wall of windows at the back of the house will also be ordered soon...I can't wait to see how amazing that will be when it's put in!

House Update

The kids and I took a ride out to the new house yesterday to check out the progress. With the subfloor installed and floor plan marked out, you can really get a feel for what the finished product will be like. Olivia enjoyed crawling around in her future room and Andrew got to run around in the basement. I was able to start picturing all of the ideas I've pinned on Pinterest. Each step closer makes me more anxious to see the next and more excited to move in when it's ready!

Let's Build A House

Carl and I have talked about building a house for a long time. It's something we always imagined we'd do. Now the time is finally here! The basement of our new home was dug this week and now we have a giant hole. We're working with home designer Dan Tyree on modifying one of his home plans, Spades, to suit our needs. We can't wait to see the final renderings and get the next step underway!
