Week Ten {Days One Thru Five} ...

I am seriously slacking on pictures of the house this week. Actually, my blog title is a big fat lie considering I haven't been to the house since Wednesday and so my pictures are only through day Three and completely outdated now! Our work week is just crazy and after working all day, picking up the babies and heading back into town I barley make it home with enough energy to make dinner! So, frequent trips to the house have taken a back seat for the time being. Good thing we will be LIVING there soon {but we have so much work ahead of us before that happens!}. Also, the drywall mudding/finishing is the longest process of house building {takes two weeks} so there hasn't been a whole lot of picture progress to document. 

Drywall is set to be done this coming Friday. I can't wait to see the finished project! I have a meeting with the interior paint consultant at 4:00 on Friday to finalize our interior paint colors. I am really excited for this! I have our main color picked out {found it and fell in love with it on the Parade of Homes this year} and so we will base the other colors around that.

I will be out to the house this weekend {GORGEOUS weekend here!} and will snap some more pictures. I will update tomorrow {Sunday} but for now here are a few that I shot on Wednesday! 


Our siding color is so hard to capture in a picture {and a I-Phone picture at that...} but you kind of get the idea? More siding has been put on since this picture was taken!


We are having rounded edges on our walls. I am excited for this! I have seen it a few new homes lately and I love the way it looks. 

Sorry for the weak update! I will be back tomorrow with more. Now it's time to enjoy this beautiful weather while we still have it!

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!
