We have a house!
August 14th, 2011
Sorry for not posting in a while. Our computer has been acting up and I couldn’t get my pictures online. But…thanks to my computer whiz hubby, we are back and I have a TON of pictures to put in this post! The last update featured the foundation and the driveway/porch areas but since then, a lot has changed. Our floor has been completed and it is to die for! We just love it.

The floor has been stained and sealed. Once the framers are finished, they will clean it, and then touch up certain areas, reseal it, and cover it up with cardboard for the remainder of the work. We will apply the wax once we move in to make it nice and shiny.


Please excuse the foot prints. I promise to keep it clean once we live in it!
They also started and finished framing…..in 6 DAYS and in over 100 degree heat every day. I am amazed that they lived to tell about it since we haven’t stepped outside for more than 30 mins at a time.

Kitchen: Day 1

Kitchen: Day 6 Notice our windows are already in! Keith wanted windows with no panes and I love how it turned out.

Main Area: Day 1

Here’s a shot of the inside of the garage.

Back Porch: Day 1

Back Porch: Day 6 We were amazed at how long and wide the back porch ended up being!

Looking out the carport, down the driveway.

Front shot! We have a house!!

It’s hard to believe that this much is done already. Tessa and Eric were in town this weekend and they were able to see it. It’s crazy to think that the next time they’ll be here, it’ll be done! We are shooting for mid-October for move-in, and that’s going to come fast since summer is about over and I’m back to teaching in a week! We are meeting with the electrician tomorrow to discuss all the little details of light switches and wiring, Keith can’t wait.
That’s all for now…but here’s a couple cute pics from the weekend, just because I love all the little babies on Mom & Dad’s back porch.

Wow! I saw your link on facebook, and I am glad I did! Your house is absolutely beautiful, and I love all the progress pictures. October will be here before you know it. Speaking of, Aspen and I might be down for convention with my sister…will let you know if we make it so we can make sure we see you!
Love from the Idaho Hermances
