Day 30 - 03/16/2007

Despite the rain yesterday afternoon and into last night, the carpenters have made substantial progress this week. Some of our friends, the Harpers and the Copelands, joined us at the lot this afternoon to check out the progress, take some pictures, and offer some guidance and counsel.

I was pleased to see our newest project manager, Ty Harper, on site and barking out orders. Taking care of business, just like momma taught him!!


Welcome to our new home...it's a bit drafty, but you'll get used to it!

Here is a picture of our laundry / mud room. Our view will change when we have neighbors building outside this window, but for the time, we'll enjoy it! It will still be a big improvement from our current laundry room, which is in the dug out basement!!


Here is a picture looking into our kitchen / breakfast area. The carpenters removed the wing-wall that was not supposed to be there. The doorway in the back of the picture will lead off of the kitchen to the screened porch.


This is wall inside our office. I'm not sure it is supposed to be that tall, but we'll see. (Notice how it is about 4' above the other wall!!)

This shows our closets...yes, we will now have separate closets. The one on the right is Mandy's and the one on the left will be mine. We decided that it was in both of our best interests to have separate closets, although I believe that each of these on their own is larger than the one that we are currently sharing!

We finally have stairs! Here is me checking out the view. I won't have many more opportunities to see this. We will soon (likely in the next two weeks) have a roof on the house and I won't be able to do this. Bill is at the bottom right of this picture.


This is a picture from atop my perch, looking into the kitchen.


Another picture from up top...this one is looking into our master bath.


These are the floor joists for our bonus room above the garage. These should have decking laid early this week, which will let them put up walls later in the week.


Another picture from the stairs...this one is over looking our bedroom and the tray ceiling (on the left.)


While Ty is our newest and most fierce project manager, he is still in training. Below you have a picture of the REAL boss.
