June 4: Floors!

The installation of the new floors started today and they look great (and will look even better once the final coat is applied).

May 31: Kristen and the Kids Won

Well, there is a giant hole in the backyard... I fought it as long as I could but Kristen and kids pretty much ignored me so it looks like we are putting in an in-ground trampoline.

May 20: It's Coming Together

There have been workers from all trades busy inside and outside the house this past week, which translates into lots of progress (which is good thing since we have to be out of our rental and back in our new house in five weeks).

Finally picked a paint color... back of the house painted today.

 

Living room ceiling tongue-and-groove painted.

 

Kitchen is coming together.

Kid's bath getting tiled.

 

Master bath getting tiled.

 

The boxes of fixtures, fans, lights, etc. are starting to pile up in the rental.

 

May 13: The Yard is Bald

Nate was pretty accurate when I got home from work and he told me the yard was bald. With the help of a tractor, in just a few hours they scraped away the yard, hedges, fence and some trees to make way for the new hard/landscape.

May 4: Over-thinking Paint

Things are coming together: drywalling is complete, ceiling work is just about finished, floors have been selected, and exterior and interior painting will begin this week. 

After weeks of looking at floor samples, we finally landed on the right one.

New skylight in the entry way.

Yep, that's 12 options so far...

And the same goes for the interior...

Libby is completely over the paint decision...

Sofie and Jenna deciding on the right blue for her room...

April 17: Siding & Walls... Continued

The siding is finished so we are moving on to picking paint colors for the exterior... and the drywall is getting more perfected each day.

 

 

 

 

April 16: Maybe We Should Have Added a Rooftop Deck to the Plans?

The roofers started work yesterday and Nate took a trip up top to inspect the progress...
