Rotting Window

We got our rotted window replaced. We’ll have pictures of the new window up soon. Brian has missed a lot of work (maybe he hasn’t been missing it, to quote from a great movie) to be home for the installers, painters, and security people to continually come by. Old news, but we also finally bought a dining room set in March. We’re loving it! Brian recently modded the china cabinet so that it has a touch-sensitive hinge that Janie can use to turn the lights on and off.

Almost ready to move in!

It’s about time for another update, right?  The house is mostly complete.  We had
our walk-through on July 31st, and that was where we told them what they still needed
to complete.  Sod and landscaping really add a finishing touch!  We close
on August 5th, so I guess that means we should start packing?  Everyone in our neighborhood is really great.  We’re all super excited to be moving in.  After work everyday, there’s a big block party when everyone comes to look at his house.  Brian and Janie are ready to move in and enjoy being homeowners!  Janie will just be glad that there is some color on the walls instead of “apartment cream.”

House update

After some computer problems, we seem to have recovered a bit. Sorry it’s taken so long to update our site!  The brick and sheetrock are complete at our house.  The builder has unofficially moved our closing date to early August.  We’re hoping to be moved by the end of August.  We have picked all of our interior colors (paint, tile, countertop, etc.) and lighting fixtures.  The next big thing at the house should be the cabinets and paint.  Molly is growing rapidly. She’s learned to sleep through the night on top of Janie’s face!

Construction started

Construction on our house has started, and it’s moving very quickly!  It’s much quicker than Janie or Brian expected.  As of today, we have most exterior and interior walls in place, and expect to have a roof in the next few days.  It’s practically a full time job trying to keep up to speed with the progress (then updating all the pictures)! We’ve met several of our neighbors and everyone is very nice and excited about all the progress.

Next week, we visit with the decorator!  More decisions!
