Stone, Shakes and Siding, OH MY!!

Friday Fun Day -
ROOF IS COMPLETE!!

 

Very happy with the color.  It is gray but has some warm undertones so it isn't so harsh.
Finally made all the decisions on the outside of the house.  Stone, Shake and Siding Colors.  Quite the ordeal but now that the decisions have been made it is such a load off.  Now we can stop thinking about the outside and move inside!

Speaking of inside:  Basement was framed today.

Owen thought he would find the toilet in the basement bath and try it out....what a ham!

Finally looking like a living space down here.

Absolutely amazed at how different the inside of the house looks once everything is all cleaned up.

Up on the roof...

Not only a great song by James Taylor, but happy to see some progress up on the roof.

Hard to see here but the shingles are on this side of the house.  So far I'm really pleased with the color we chose.










I love these pictures because I feel like it is also a game of Where's Waldo.  Or in this case Where's Avery.  If you look back through the pics it's really funny.  Owen on the other hand isn't nearly as sneaky.

The other exciting development is the electric box!!

Sept 17

Roof is completed and ready for some shingles.

Just a little Saturday fun with the back hoe

So back in the corner of our property is a little woods with some hidden treasures.  Along with those treasures though comes some junk. The biggest hunk of junk is an old rusted out camper. In order to get it out we had to bring in a back hoe to pull it out of the trees. It took a couple tries but we eventually got it out of there.  

Attempt one. 

Success.

How else would you want to spend a Saturday afternoon?  I will post pictures later of some of the great finds out of the camper and barn.  We are hoping to use some of them within the house:)

Sept 16th

Monday-  Plan for the week primarily consists of the roof. We have chosen our roof color which is called Driftwood and they will start the shingles on Wednesday. Weather permitting, hope to be done by the end of the week.

They have 75% of roof done at this point.

Our First Dinner Party Sept 15

We had some visitors come out to check out the progress, our friends, the Dunlap's.  The big kids had fun playing in the dirt, riding 4 wheelers, etc.

And luckily Mrs. Dunlap had brought some Pizza Pasta because the little kids became very hungry!  It is the first meal at our new house!!!

Sept 13

After a day and a 1/2 of rain, we are back in business.   The job site has become quite muddy which did cause a bit of trouble for Eli

I'm Stuck!!

Despite the mud they have started placing the sheeting on the roof.
