Where Has The Time Gone?!?!

Much has happened over at the new house in these past few months! With the framing finished, the electrical work was started. Jason Spangenberg and Wired Electric did a great job for us. Once the electrical and low voltage work was finished, we were able to get started on some of the fun custom work we had planned.

Juan has been a most valuable asset to our project! He built, by hand, our timber front porch beams, and then all the beams inside. He has also built the beautiful timber arches in our entryway! I can't say enough about Juan! He is still working on some fun design work right now!

After Juan finished with the wood working, the dry wall crew moved in. They were in and out! They did a great job! We are pleased with the "holy wall" texture. Having all the walls and ceilings in place really has made the house take shape for me. We are all getting really excited about it!

Steve Hopper and his roofing team came in and put up our roof. It was a job and a half for them! We really appreciate their hard work...and quickness.

Now that the sheet rock is up, we have moved on to the exterior work. Juan and his uncle, and Paul, stained all the wood siding which is now being hung. We also received all of our exterior doors. The front door looks fabulous! I think we are going to paint it red, and I am looking forward to that!

I just finished selecting all the flooring (minus the carpet), and all the tile. We have also chosen paint colors. I am just about finished selecting lighting fixtures. Our cabinets should be ready in about 3 more weeks. I know all this seems a little frantic, but our builder, Kasey, decided to put our home in the Parade of Homes (with our blessing, of course). Although that is exciting, it puts us under the gun! The Parade starts on June 26th! Yikes!
