Last Friday, there were so many people working on our house. The sheetrock guy, the painters, the rock guys (for the outside of the house) and the stucco guys. Man everyone was so busy. There were men and vehicles everywhere.



The first two pics were taken from the office at the barn.

About noon the sheetrock guy had finished putting the texture on the walls and ceilings. We really like the ceiling and will like the walls (I hope) after they are painted. First is the ceiling the second is the walls.

I think last Wednesday the rock guys showed up and started putting the black paper on the house. Thursday the stucco guys came and redid what the rock guys had done wrong the day before. But they were both there Friday.
The painters (Jason Robb and another guy) started taping the windows ect and were ready when our interior doors arrived. They started staining them Friday afternoon.

The painters were the only ones who came on Saturday. They added another coat of stain to the doors. We have 3 doors that are back ordered.
We love to just walk through the house almost every night. So here goes the tour.
First we start in the garage with Robert and Maggie.

Next we are the kitchen looking at the living room. The far wall is where the entertainment center will be. The ceiling in the kitchen dining room isn't textured, we are going to put quakie tongue and groove on the ceiling.
This is taken by the french doors looking through the living room to the front door.
This is the kitchen area. The sink will be on the left side. The pantry in the corner, and the stove to the right. The far right is a hallway going to the laundry room/ master bedroom.

This picture is Robert's pride and joy....Our walk- in shower. To the far left is our tub and a linen closet.


Today is Tuesday, no one came on Monday, Today the painters were the only ones who came. Man it goes from a lot of work done to no work done! Impatience!

Blogging our house

It is hard for me to blog, cause I see the house EVERY day, and it seems to be going so slowly. But to those of you who aren't here, and keep suggesting that I post, here are some new shots of our house.
Here is our livingroom. I am crazy, but it is so messy, I have to go sweep sometimes just so the workers who are making the mess don't have to work in the mess.
Here is our bedroom with all the insulation.
Here they are hanging the sheetrock in the garage. It seems strange to walk in the garage and not be able to see clear through the house. But it is looking more like a home everyday. Here is what the entrance way looks like before sheetrock.

This is looking from the livingroom to the front entrance.
This is our plant shelf in the entrance way.

Our front door is all stained and sealed.

The view from the entrance way to the livingroom.


These photos are the view from the back porch.
Here is our bedroom bay window.

This is the pantry.


And this is the entrance to the dining room. So that is all for now. Looking good!
