The last couple weeks have been very exciting and I warn you now…this is a post with A LOT of pictures. So I hope you have some time on your hands.
Here are a couple pics of the roof. The dormers have been completed and the porch, gables and eaves have been primed.

The front porch framed and primed.

Main area with ceiling completed and a shot of the arch that frames the entry to the kitchen and the dining room.

Living Room.. facing the fireplace with book shelves on either side. The arches were Dad’s idea.

Close-up of the book shelf.

Close-up of the entry to the master bedroom. Clearly we’re going with the arches theme in the main area. It looks fantastic.

Here’s a far away shot of the house from the road.

Painted Gables!!

Our paint color is in the watered down beige family called Barely Dawn!

Garage side.

Gable/porch shot from the other end of the house.


Finished Garage!

front of the house, completed dormers.

close-up of the dormers. I love this shot.

front shot again.

Finished porch.

Carport completed.

A close up of our stellar paint job. Gorgeous.

Here are some shots of our painted doors. Garage Door, Mud Room Door, Back Door. Keith is serving as a comparison because our house doors are 8 footers. They are awesome!

Roof and chimney shots.


I know you all have seen our magnificent tree….but I got this shot the other night and I had to include it. I’ve never seen a tree like this one. huge!

Okay so this is a little pile of raccoon poo (bare with me), but I think it’s absolutely hilarious that a rodent snuck into our house, and decided to relieve himself on the one little raised area in the entire house…the place where the outlet will be in the floor. “Someone” is scolding us for building in his territory.

Next up for us…electrical, plumbing and a roof! Thanks for stopping by! More updates coming soon!
