House - Week #5




These house updates are really for my mother, as well as other family, who is serving a mission in California.....so she can keep up with the progress. And also as a kind of journal to track the building of our home. Please bare with us. I know this can get boring for a lot of you. This week they continued the framing and actually started on the 2nd floor. We are so blessed because our builder actually figured out a way to add some sq. footage to Alysa's bedroom and closet.....somehow. So that will increase the overall sq. footage of the house. Mark and I (we think......HOPE) got the hardwood and carpet picked out and will be concentrating on the tile next. We also got the brick, rock and front door picked out, as I mentioned earlier. Thank goodness!! That was a headache!! Next week we are meeting with the cabinet guy to lay out the kitchen (mostly) and other cabinetry, select a color and order. Let us pray the weather holds out 'til we're in the dry!

Actually, I love seeing your pictures! We had a house built when we lived in Colorado. It's fun to see the progress on yours every week! My favorite is when the brick or siding goes up... makes it really look like a house.

Aren't there just a zillion decisions that come with homebuilding! It can get so stressful for an indecisive person (like me). Sounds like you are moving right along and it looks great. We have been in ours for two months and love it. We were our own general and the building part was something else. Good luck!
