Load bearing walls and start of roof

I am enjoying this stage of house building.  It goes SO FAST!!!!!

What a huge differance a DAY makes!! 

The boys cant help but run and play!


WOW it is a house!

Backyard

Thats alot of wood!

Standing in the master bath.  Not sure if it looks tiny or huge! 

Running again!

SAFETY HAZARD? but so cool! They are scary stairs! They are just temporary and feel so unstable sometimes!

WALLS?

HORIZONTAL ADDITION!! 

It was so exciting to pull up and see this!

This is the front office window!

From the other side

This is the back of the house.  The two tall pieces are the covered patio and the other box thing is the fireplace! 

I dont know how to express my feelings right now.  We soon will have a place to call home and it will be our DREAM HOUSE!!!

Tree

I love japaanies maple trees!  When we finished our backyard at our town house we bought a beautiful little tree.

I want one of each of these for our new house!!

Main level floor

EAK!  Wow all of a sudden it is starting to look so small.  I feellike im almost taking up the boys whole room. Not sure how we will be fitting 2 beds! :S

Look at my sweet HAPPY HUBBY!! 

Stair sin the basment.  Just dont plan to get anywhere! 

Framed basement

No wasting time around here.  Once again post baseball we have FRAMING! 

Cabinet Colors

We have now picked out our cabinets.  Was quite the topic for us. We have always wanted a Tuscan type home and now that we have selected some type of dark wood floor we have decided to go with lighter wood.

 

This is the style we were going for and selected a light brown color with a dark glaze.

We also selected to add a WHOLE BUNCH of extras.  Our cabinet guy was amazing and helped us pick out each of the elements to make it perfect. 

Just to name a few

• Pull out spice racks
• Separate stove from oven
• Hood above range
• Under cabinet lights
• Full extension drawers
• Soft close doors

Even adding everything we still came in slightly under budget!! What a great feeling.  I also requested that we have handles on our cabinets.  I LOVE cabinets and sad to admit, i open WAY too many drawers with my toes. So they have to be good for that. \

This is what we have selected

As always EVERY ONE of these choices is subject to change.

And just for kicks and giggles This is the back splash style I want ONE DAY!

Foundation FLOOR!

Monday means PROGRESS!! 

We have FLOOR!! the full foundation is now in
