I'm a bit behind in the blogging world! Here's what's been happening around here house wise.
Several days ago we came down and saw the whole house insulated! Shortly after, drywall was hung and they had completed the first coat of mud.
Much prettier after drywall. :)
An up close of the siding color! We love it.
A couple days after that we saw the retaining wall in the back go up. It looks pretty awesome, but once the fence is in on our side we won't even see it. We were required by the city to have it so our water doesn't run into the neighbors property. We originally thought we were going to have to pay for material to build it, but there were enough rocks that they dug up on our property that it only cost us labor. Bonus!
We're down here and are seeing huuuuge progress!! Another coat of mud is on the walls plus texture. The siding on the back and sides is almost done (they're finishing tomorrow) and the brick is 100% complete! I was sooo nervous to see how the exterior would come together, but so far I'm loving it.
We picked out our tile for the bathrooms over the weekend, and that's going in Friday. Here's a little sneaky peak.
Jake is installing the vinyl for the main living areas (did I already mention that?) and Brad dropped it off at the house today! It looks AWESOME. We didn't even know that was an option until like a week ago, but it's going to save us a bunch of money. Plus let's be honest, Jake's dying to get involved.
I'm currently blogging from the truck with a sleeping baby. Jake is inside laying some leveling concrete in some areas where the footers settled before he starts laying vinyl tomorrow.
The painters come next week, and after that cabinets will be installed. Then it's just a matter of finishing touches! Hardware, fixtures, carpet, toilets. It feels just out of reach! We're so anxious to move in.
If you made it this far....high five. I'll try to be better about updates so they don't take an hour to read. ;) home sweet home!
