Welcome to my bathroom...

Now for the fun changes, and things that we can see everyday! The kids were super excited to see their new showers today!

Kate's girly green & white shower

Will's hot chocolate shower

And the guest bathtub

And now we have these funny columns suspended in the air.  Oh, and the copper roof is done!



Now the fun begins!

So the drywall is almost done, including the basement, and is getting primed.  The stone and copper are being installed outside in the 90+ weather (that feels like 110).  And we are beginning to pack and purchase furniture.  I guess there is no turning back now, not that we would want to.

Big Changes!!

So we leave for a few days, when nothing is happening (that we can really see).  And when we get back, things just fly along!!!  In the last week, we've got a completed exterior to the garage, fireplace, insulation (or installation, as Will called it), and now drywall!!!  Hope all the plumbing and electrical are right!

The garage

Our neighbor was so excited about the column, she called to tell me it was in!

One of our gigantic window wells

Insulation in the dining room...

 

...and around the fireplace in the great room!

As of tonight, Kate's room has the most drywall.

As does the guest room

The north side is almost completely sided!

Noticeable changes coming soon!!!  So stay tuned!

And the cute garage apartment

The stairs to the garage apartment went in this week.  It is such a cute space...so many options!!

And they started trimming the outside of the garage!

We can't wait to see how much they get done next week while we are gone!

The "ManCave" has arrived

The basement floor is poured and the walls are framed!

The big window in the "theater"

The Theater

Soon to be the bar!

Matt's music room (or at least the entrance)

It's All in the Guts

Sorry for the long delay in posting, but they have now moved to the inside of the house and are working on the "guts".  The plumbing, electric, and HVAC are going in.

The arches into the butlers pantry

Yeah, a bathtub!

Kate checking out our shower

I'm sure the concrete guys were not too happy to see this in the new garage floor!

It was a little bittersweet to see this sitting in the front yard...

And on a sad note, we have lost a duck :(  The female of the pair of ducks, who swam in our new driveway, was found struck by a car last week.  The male spent two days quacking at her in the street. 

We are all so sad!

Windows on the World

So, last week was a little crazy, but it is amazing how much they can get done in a weeks time, when we are out of town and the sun is shining!!  When we unexpectedly left town last weekend, they were working on the roof...

...and when we returned, we had windows and even a few doors!!

The front

South side

The back

And our little garage just keeps getting cuter!!!

Now just pray this weather holds out until they get the roof done and can move inside!
