This was last Sept. SOOOOO long ago.Here we are as of last weekend. The pictures are pretty self explanatory but still they are exciting to share. Kyle's hoping to get the house painted at the end of the month along with saving the whales, feeding the homeless, and diminishing our carbon footprint.
The front porch posts will be wood wrapped and framed out- then eventually painted the whitish color of our trim. The house will hopefully be a dreamy shade of khaki that I found on a cute little bungalow here in town. It looked great on their house so I walked up to the front door and asked for some paint advice. Such a friendly community indeed!
The front door will have glass across the top as well- but of course something always has to not be quite the right size upon delivery.
Beautiful sheet rock.
Bad lighting-inside fireplace, better evidence pictures later.
Kyle and his brothers/dad slaved away in the blasted heat all day Saturday doing the "worst job humanely possible".....INSULATING DUCT WORK. Sorry fellas, boy do I appreciate your help. And now that everyone (almost) has their houses built, no more insulation!!!
The bonus room just 'itchin to be sheet rocked.
The big boys had a great day playing in the barn and catching frogs with cousin Sidney. Brody enjoyed being very TWO and telling his loving mother to just, "go away!" -So sweet.
So that's the report. We wait for our framing inspection this week and when that is finalized...the walls can FINALLY go up! Then the real fun begins..flooring, cabinets, plumbing fixtures, the good stuff!
Oh, and when he's not building the house, or at work, or out saving the whales....he battles Jedi fighters in the backyard. Love that guy!

It looks so nice! I hope to see it in person someday! Maybe August! How are you and little Miss Kate?
Your house is beautiful! I can't wait for you to have that major project behind you.
How are these last weeks of pregnancy treating you?
Oh and Helen looks seriously ill, she took it a wee bit to far.
And 24!!!!! Okay I am not happy with the finale at all! Not enough closure for me.
Hooray and I LOVE it!! The chimney looks absolutely ideal for jolly old St. Nick to come sliding down come December, and he and all of the rest of you will be so happy about the insulation then...
