This is my stamping/scrapbooking room that just got drywalled yesterday.

The house is coming along. Drywall is almost finished upstairs and should be ready to paint this week! The downstairs is next and should start hanging sometime next week. Dave is about to wrap up all the loose end electrical items. The porch is ready to be built and the rest of the siding is waiting to go up! Lot's of stuff to keep Dave busy this winter!

An Update....Finally

It's been hard to keep this updated with everything going on, Ethan's Rodeo, our new baby, Emelia, the house building.....etc! Here are some outside and inside shots of our progress. The plumbers have finished the rough-ins, the HVAC are finishing up our geothermal system rough-in, Dave has started on the electric wiring, siding is up on the East and partially on the North side of the house, the garage is up, all the stud walls are up, the cabinets are ordered, plumbing fixtures and lighting fixtures have been picked out and the tile/flooring is all picked out too. We are hoping to start drywall in the next couple weeks and to get the house sealed up before winter hits again. Dave thinks we could be in before the end of winter.....but winter technically goes until sometime in March!

Looking up from our great room....kind of hard to visualize, but the room on the left is the dining room.

The siding on the east side of the house.

We have a Roof and Windows!

We are "still" working on our house, the weather just hasn't been cooperating the way we would like. The roof was finally finished the last couple weeks in May. Then we started to get more rain and couldn't get the JLG around to close up the peaks of the house. So this is how the house sat for quite a while. Didn't they do a nice job with the backfilling! We don't have those big mounds of dirt anymore so I can actually see the house from my kitchen window!Here is a shot of the house with all of the windows (minus the front door)! You can click on the picture to see them in more detail, but I believe this is what they refer to as prairie style windows. Now I can't wait to see what the house will look like with our wrap around porch.Here is a view of the East side of the house!And the back side!And this is where the garage will eventually be!The back of the house!

This is a view from the inside of the house looking down onto our living oom!
