MoViNg right along!

Well, we sold our home in town and we close Feb 21,

so the moving has begun!

THANKS so much, Brian and I were again

graciously reminded how lucky we

are when the morning came to start hauling as

 much as we could to the new house and

before we knew it our current home was empty

and our new home was full :)

We were blessed to have fantastic

helpers, family and friends.

Here, the work continues to make our NEW house our NEW HOME!

finishing the LAST pieces of sheetrock on the interior!

Our dependable cleaning lady, She's HIRED!

she even feeds us too!

                       I kept busy moving what I could while the boys
                            did the heavy duty work-- sheet rocking!

                         Sorry no progress pics along the way but here's
                                our FINISHED basement garage :)    
                                 which will likely soon be FULL :(                          

And here's the beautiful artwork the

on the walls! (this was hired out)

master bedroom ceiling

master bathroom ceiling

                                "tree bark" texture on the walls
                                      of the main living areas

                               "fudge" texture on ceilings of main
                                     bathroom and kids rooms

                          And the basement gets fuller....

                             Here's the latest updates of the exterior;
                          ALMOST all done outside, just some soffit,
                      fascia and band boards.....and some landscaping!

                                We're not CRAZY about the
                       cream board and batten (vertical siding),
                           was hoping it would grow on me
                                     but not so much....
                        needless to say we may be painting
                                  the vertical cream siding
                            IF the stone pillars we eventually
                               put up don't help tone it down.

 

Inside Out!

Unfortunately I haven't been able to track our progress as

efficiently as I had been due to camera issues:(

However, needless to say we've still been very busy working

away and are continue to move on to bigger better things!

Derek was able to finish most of the spray foam insulation

and as you can see sheetrock covers just about wall

it possibly can at this time! Next steps will be taping

and texturing! I have to capture some more pictures

of the roof but that is 90% finished, at least the steel is

covering the entirety of the roof, just some touch up

projects on that and my dad and Brian were able to finish the

last of the siding on the exterior:)

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.....

Despite the BEAUTIFUL weather, the holidays and day to day

business have caught up to us and we've been dwindling

ever so slightly on our diligent efforts.....

However, there has been quite a bit more progress made

but due to my faulty camera issues I don't have ALL the

latest updates......but here's what I've left out from recent:

And the siding continues.....

The red siding is complete ALL but on this garage end.....

as you can see some steel is on the roof :)

Hoping one more productive weekend will allow

us to finish the outdoor work for the year?!

If it would only stop raining......

Made with LoVe :)

Let it Snow :(

It looks ok up close but from a distance looks awkward

therefore; stay tuned for the refinished look!

Friday Brian framed a railing and 1/2 wall in garage

Unfortunately the pictures don't do these boys justice

but it's snowing something fierce:(

Relentless help we have I tell ya!
