Bonus Room -- Remodeled

We're not even finished with the house and we have already remodeled. We decided to expand the bonus room to include one side for Justin's play area and the original side for who knows what. This first photo is taken from the road side looking over the master bedroom.














With the ceiling lowered to 8 feet and the closet and half wall around the stairs.

















Justin is standing in the closet. The other side of the stairs will be the walkway to his side of the bonus room.

Cables

Daddy and Justin worked on the cabling over the weekend. I'm pretty sure I can safely say that I have the most cable in my house in all of Dyer! P. Little never wants to get back in that attic again.

Maddie does not like to leave Daddy's side. I honestly thought she might try walking across those beams.

So far the cables look very neat, but I hear they have plans to make it even better. Justin didn't want me posting this, but I wanted to brag on how good it looks so far. Nathan and Daddy both helped P. Little with this so we have them to thank too.

Bonus Room Pics

Justin asked for steps to the bonus room...and he got them. Aren't they wonderful!

This is the upstairs bonus room above the garage. It is rather large, but this picture makes it look huge. I think we're really going to enjoy having this space. We don't plan on finishing this initially, but we may need it in the future.

Friday's progress

Friday brought a buzz of activity to the house. The progress made was absolutely amazing.





This first picture was taken before 10am. The roofers were really moving...












Clint pulls wire for some of our lights. I don't think there's anyway I can repay him for all of his hard work these next several days.












Ma came to inspect the progress.

















The front of the house has shingles! Woohoo! Doesn't it look pretty.

These pictures were taken early Friday morning to show how many shingles were put up the first day. I just can't stop saying how much it looks like a real house now...and so big! I absolutely love everything about it.

Well, I've been slacking off again and it's taken me a week to get more pictures up.


Our bathtubs were delivered early this week. This will be in the two guest baths. Our shower unit for our master bathroom was just delivered yesterday. I'm so excited to see all of this going in!




This is the handy truck/tractor/I don't know what machine that Julio uses to reach high spots easier. It looks like a wonderful contraption that Justin could have a lot of fun with!

Look....it's a real house! Don't the dormers look wonderful? They really make the house look complete now. I was so excited to see them. I wasn't sure about them in the beginning, but Julio said the house needed something more. He was right...they look good!

More pics to come later today. Some of the shingles are up, and we'll be doing some wiring this morning.

New Addition to the Denton family

Thought I would post a few pics of my new niece...well, not quite a niece, but still close to it. This is Matthew and Carla's little girl,

Carley Bale born May 16th @ 8:14 PM.

7 lbs, 15 oz and 21 inches long.

Decking

After a busy week and a day of rain, the decking is on the majority of the front of the house. Here's a few pics.

We hope to be pulling wire for the electricity, cable, phone, internet, etc by the end of this week. Pray for good weather!

The Roof is taking shape

It's been a busy few days. Here's the first pic from Monday.





















Here we are after day 3.

My creative shot looking above the kitchen.

The blogs may be short for the next few weeks, but I'll do my best to post pictures as often as possible.
