Guns and Limestone

I realized today that I am WAY behind on updating the blog, but honestly, the weeks are flying by. We’ll start with something non-house related. Keith celebrated his birthday over labor day weekend and his present was a gun! He’s so good at being Texan. We had a steak at Mom and Dad’s and Keith practiced shooting at some trees. It was a good day.

After Keith broke in his new gun, we ventured up the road a few miles and spent some time at our house. We discovered that our roof had been started!

This is the back of the house.

Logan tagged along, so of course he provided some additional entertainment.

This picture is from a Saturday about 3 weeks ago that we were hanging out at the house. We came around the corner and much to our surprise…we found several piles of limestone! Over the last few weeks, it’s been so fun to watch it slowly creep it’s way around the house.

Right side of the house and the breezeway…almost all finished!

Close up of the breezeway. Notice the beauty of the limestone framed windows.

This is a shot of the front living room windows. I love how they framed the entire group of windows and kept the pattern going in between.

A wiring update: We are all wired! Here are some pictures of a few can lights and a shot of the back door light switches, just for fun.

We are tentatively scheduled to move in the last week of October and while Dad is somewhat confident we’ll make it, we are sure of it! That means we’re only about a month away! This week the insulation and sheet rock are going up, more pictures to come next week of all that, I promise!

 

Thanks for checking in. Think of us as we begin the daunting task of “furniture shopping.”
