Progress!






Much progress is being made at the house! We have a finished chimney, a completed porch, and showers and baths. The floor has been poured in the basement, and the heating and cooling is complete. Take a look!

Outside changes






The deck is partially complete, and the front porch deck is getting prepared for the concrete to be poured. Turning to the chimney, the mortar has been readied to accept the new stonework. Some of our doors have also been installed, as well as almost all the windows! 14 on the second floor alone. Until next time!! Stay tuned!

Interior changes






Part of the heating and cooling system has now been installed, and more interior changes are taking place. The fireplace has been put in and additional wiring and fixtures have been installed as well.

A Stone Foundation






The stone foundation is going up, complete with a stone chimney. We are excited about the rustic look and how it will contrast with the barn wood-look siding and the metal roof. Take a look!

A Cookout and a Broken Ankle






Our first cookout with friends at the house went well. We enjoyed a beautiful Saturday evening with burgers, chicken, and a campfire. And then, snap!, someone steps off the porch and breaks their ankle. Yes, yours truly. :( After several painful days, and getting used to crutches, things are turning around.

The house construction continues, however! Check out the next blog for some amazing pics!
