Brick-Laying

Things on the house are starting to move slower now. The brick was delivered last Friday and brick-laying has begun. They should be finished by the end of this week or beginning of next week. Drywall has been put up in the garage so that the garage door can be installed. We are meeting on Wednesday to talk about the floor stains. As soon as we find a stain we like the floors will be next.

The Bright Side

The walk-thru with Todd went smoothly. We now know where all of the light switches, ceiling fans, plug-ins, cable lines, phone lines and, most importantly, interior and exterior lights are all going to go!! The electrician should be starting sometime today. YAY!!!!!!

I was also told today that we get to meet with the cabinet guy next week to talk about design and layout. Todd said he will draw it all up for us to see before he starts building them. YAY!!!!! YAY!!!!!

Rain is a Good Thing!

I am soooo happy that it rained here today. The work has begun on the inside of the house now and hopefully today's cooler weather helped some. The fireplace was installed on friday, along with 2 exterior doors. Our final window came in last Thursday and was installed yesterday. The HVAC system installation began yesterday as well and should be finished up today. Our insurance company came to inspect the house progress this morning. We are meeting with Todd and the electrician tomorrow to discuss where all of the lights are going to go.

Progress is a good thing

Here is a picture of the completed roof that I promised.

Our meeting yesterday with Todd was smooth and exciting. He said he would get the fireplace ordered. The propane lines have been ran in the house to the proper places. We should be getting the HVAC installed(or at least started) today or tomorrow. We talked about outside lighting(which I haven't even really thought about yet) placement. We will be meeting with the electrician next week sometime. Todd also said that his designer will be back from vacation next week and I am on her list of people to talk to. I am soooo ready!!!! I'm sure Kevin is too so that I will quit pestering him with all of my girly decorating ideas. Have a Happy Thursday!!!!



Coming Along

I hope you enjoyed the holiday. I know we sure did! The house is coming along. The roofers will have all of the shingles up today, the windows are in the correct places now and temporary doors have been put up. Choctaw Plumbing finished running all of the water lines and the tub/shower and faucets have been installed in the kids' bathrooms. We are meeting tomorrow to discuss the propane lines and the placement of the tank. (I will post a picture of the completed roof tomorrow.)
