And notice the skylights are in - yea! Let there be light in my laundry room!



This is what I like to call the fortress side of the house.


Look! It's a garage!

March 28-31

Is that a house back there?

Garage getting framed up

Bedroom without bracing; the roof is waterproofed.

March 24-27

Quite a difference with the bracing gone.


Bracing still up in the living room and bedroom.



Arno & Jamie in the main entrance.

March 23

As most of you have figured out, we're at the site most every day. Arno swings by after work and I try to meet him out there around 5:00-5:30. I'm sorry I missed the tour group (John, Judy, Cary & Eric) that went through on Friday - I was at the hospital with my mom and brother. Gary (my brother) followed me out and took the last tour for the evening. Unfortunately, we didn't document you all being there.

However, we did get the previous Friday night crowd - Mary & Katie, Jamie & Phil joined us and helped inaugurate the house.

yeah, yeah, I know I'm behind....

I knew there would be issues with trying to keep this updated...I'm also trying to paint, clean, coordinate contractors (for the Waite house) and keep up with the selection process on the new house. I'm a little stressed. Then, my mom went into the hospital with a pulminary embolism, so that just added to it. She's great and out now, back to herself. Yeah!!! So, today is laundry day and while things are spinning away, I thought I'd get you all up-to-date.

The good news,(other than my mom's recovery) is that we're going to have a fabulous house. And after all the work on this one, we deserve it!

They parked the big machine in the garage


House from the woods - starting to look really cool! I can't wait!

both wings together

Bedroom - you start to get a feeling for the space here - cool windows. Good thing we don't have any neighbors.

Walls are up in the living room

Isn't he cute!
