Paint and Brick

They started bricking on the 11th of June and finished on the 22nd. We also now have some paint, trim, doors, tile, cabinets, bathroom counters and doorknobs.

June 11th - starting the brick

June 13th - the master bath (and Matthew)

June 15th - bricked fireplace

June 15th - kitchen cabinets

June 22nd - outside complete

June 22nd - master bath

There is a huge pile of leftover rock in the front yard we decided to haul into the garage to save for flowerbed edging and future building projects. Thanks to the neighbor across the street who let us borrow her yard cart. The kids worked so hard. Afterward we went for shave ice! That was the best part.

The day of drywall

They have now told us that we should be in the house approximately 60 days after the completion of drywall. That puts us in the first of August.

June 7th - looking into the kitchen

June 7th - master bath

The house continued...

Progress is being made, but slowly now.

May 17th. This is the back of the house.

May 17th. The electrical is pulled, and when we stopped by, our new neighbors came by for a visit.

May 20th. This is my new ginormous master shower. Notice the ledge all the way around!

May 20th. They have painted all the bottom half of the studs green. Don't know why...probably never will. But look, there is a phone jack!

A new beginning

Well. Our little chaotic house is about to become a BIG chaotic house! We are now building a house to move in my grandparents. Some may say, "great, built in babysitters!", but it is actually us that will be caring for them. Now, these are my grandparents, not my husbands, but he is all for it. Our sense of family has really heightened lately, and we must take care of each other. Here are some pictures of the process of building our house.
