The columns and front door will be painted to match the siding color.

No....the cabinets are not this orange! The color looks absolutely different in person and different in every picture.

A few updated interior pictures after the crown, trim and base mold. It's really starting to come together. I think the cabinets will start going in by the end of the week and the pads for the garage and porches may be poured too.



















An upclose view of the crown and base molding.

The front steps....the bricklayers curved them a bit and added a little column at the end. I think it looks good.

Exterior View

The brick is almost complete. The front is completely done and most of the steps are in. It's looking great!





Trim Work

The trim work has been going up this week. Most of it is up throughout the house, and it looks wonderful! Interior doors have also been installed.

Busy July 4th

Clint came over and started installing the light fixtures. This is in the bonus room upstairs. We have the ceiling fans, can lights and plugs installed.
















Justin checks out the fan in the Jukebox Room/Allison's Office.
Justin's antenna is going up behind his little storage building. This is only 30 feet of it....there's another 50 to go. He's paying a guy to put this up who will climb it and then pull a 10 foot piece of it up behind him until it reaches the 80 feet. I'm sooooo glad Justin is not trying to do this himself!


Brickwork

There was a team of eight men working on the house today. I am in love with this brick. I like the texture, the color....everything. I can't wait for the houseto be finished!





Painters Galore!




We like helpers when it comes to painting. Nathan joined us on Thursday to work in a few of the closets. Justin's parents, Robert and Kathy, came on Thursday and finished the closet paint. We have three walls and one closet left to paint. Woohoo! (Of course, this is not including moulding and doors.)

Brick

On top of the painting that was going on inside today. The brick layers were outside getting started on the brick. Even though I thought I loved my brick....I am even more in love with it now!
















More Impressive Painting

It's very impressive to see how much a family can get done when they work together. We are truly blessed to have a family that is there when you need them even if it's hot and tiring work.




Carla left the baby with Momma for a few hours to help trim out a few rooms.


















Uncle Terry even joined us to help roll the bathroom.
























The ugly black stripe on the right of this picture will be a magnetic wall. It's paint from Sherwin Williams that goes on as a primer coat and the you cover with your normal color. This area will be above the desk in the kitchen so it will be a nice place to leave notes.



















Matthew and Daddy worked in the hot bonus room trimming the corners and ceiling.


















This is looking in from the front door to the living room. This "Spiced Cider" wall is where the piano will sit.

Can you say progress?

Wow...look at this! Daddy and Justin started the day at 5:30 cleaning and sanding the upstairs. Chad joined Daddy around lunch time and they finished all of the ceilings. I left work early to finalize the paint colors. Justin and I then showed up after work and were able to start putting some color on the walls with Daddy and Chad. I think it looks great!
