Sheet, Rock Bricks, and Grading

The guys rock and rolled while I was gone. My whole house is sheet rocked, taped and floated. They will be texturing and done by Tuesday which is when the trim guy starts. Wednesday the cabinets start in.

My Brick/Rock guys started.... My builder "loves" the combination of brick and rock I picked.

I had to make a decision about the garage doors. Now one would think that this would be like "Yea... I want a garage door that goes up and down" but the options... Do you want glass? What kind of glass? You want long panels or short? do you want carriage hinges or blank? Would you like it insulated or not? Do you want vinyl, aluminum, wood, steel, fiberglass, or rubberduckie? Do you want paintable or a color? How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if ...? I mean forever with the questions.

I met with hope lumber today to decide of stairs, railings and trim. Then I will meet with the actual trim guy tuesday - Hopefully that is easier than the garage doors?

We are a couple weeks ahead of schedule. That means I may only have 6 weeks to pack.

When they poured the concrete the kids put their hand prints on the back porch. This is me helping co get her print in!!

Treasures from Utah

When David's Grandmother, Vera, died in the early 90s - we had no idea that over a decade later we would receive her treasures from Utah. Over spring break I traveled many miles to pick up these door knobs from David's step mother. She removed the sets from the house that Vera and her husband had built. They are probably 100 years old now and I know exactly where they are going.

Solid Foundation

It is really cool to watch things take form. Here is the foundation.

He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. Luke 6:48

Concrete spider.

The Builder laughed at me when when I gook the second picture.... I was standing on the roof of my car in my socks. But it was a MUCH better angle.

Pour on Thursday...

The closest thing to us is the Garage whisch is offset from the front of the house. The front left hand corner is my kitchen.

From Field to Form

Pour next week.
