Its been a long time, you're just as lovely.. :)

Well, I was beginning to think the month of February was leaving us at a stand still. Snow, mud, delay of supplies and workers, but the last few days have taken off!

Windows were delivered..Should have those installed by the weekend..


Siding was delivered..That should go up after the windows, right? :)

And, they started the fireplace! Yay! I was so worried that it was going to be this hugemongous thing sticking out in my living room, but I think its gonna be ok. Whew! Hopefully I will feel the same once I can see the final product!

Framers are done!

Girlies looking out the back window. :)
Loving how those bonus room dormers turned out!
Garage and storage area.
Front porch!
Back porch!

Friday evening checkin things out...:)

Mark thinks the front is too plain, but I totally disagree! Once the shingles, front door and windows are up, it'll look fantastic!
Bonus room! Excited about the girls and their friends being able to put this room to good use! :)
View from the backside of the bonus room. Mark's shop looks small! Never thought I'd say that! lol

Front and Rear views coming together!

Rear view. This is different from the original plan. We modified it a bit to correct the drainage issue. I think this actually looks better!
Front view. Same as the original plan. :)

From the dirt hill! Woot!

There is a huge dirt hill beside the house and these pics were taken from the top of it. Thanks, Mark! :) No way would I have been brave enough to climb up there today! We had enough catastrophes just walking from the car to the house!

Two excited girlies!

Maggie in her room..She picked the room in the front, which has a big double window looking onto the porch. She wants to be able to see when people come to the house. :)
Ells standing on the front porch...Her ladybug boots were a little more like mudbugs by this time! :)

Trusses!!

Front porch..

Rear view..
