Week Nine {Days One thru Five} ...

Sorry I have been MIA this past week. The 2011-2012 school year started {I have a pretty adorable group of 17 first & second graders!} Tuesday and we have been trying to adjust to our new schedule. Life is very busy, but wonderful! 

We are officially less then TWO months away from living in our HOME! I am beyond excited.  This past week was a big one... our dry wall went up! The next two weeks will be spent finishing {mudding} the dry wall and then we will get to paint! Seeing the dry wall go up officially made our house feel like home. I can't wait to get moved in and spend the next few months unpacking, organizing and slowly decorating {that part still intimidates me...}. We are so close! 

This week they also...

Put the roof on our porch 

Installed the garage door 

Installed the front door

We FINALLY decided on a siding color and started painting {we are using fiber cement siding and painting it ourselves}

Soffit and fascia went up 

Insulation was finished before dry wall went up 

Porter and Daddy in the tractor!

Nick and his dad put in all of the insulation. This is a horrendous job. Nick's best friend, Derek, also helped with this. You guys rock! {this is the kitchen}

Before dry wall.

Installing dry wall.

Sky light! {in master bathroom and the boy's bathroom}

Garage door! Siding going up to the left.

Siding color we decided on! It got the most votes and we also liked it best. What do you think?! I am really excited to have a red house!

I love our front door.

Have a great weekend, friends!
