Skipping Ahead

The house is almost finished! The floors and cabinets are about all that is left. Jake is going to Alaska for a bit on Monday and he will finish the rest of the house when he comes home. Then we will be ready to move. Our contractor will finish the exterior while Jake is gone. But see our progress? It looks so different every day.

Sheet rock and textured walls. One picture is enough, let's get to the good stuff.


Paint and light fixtures

This is in our room. I love the rope lights around the tray ceiling.

Landing out back door.

This is the wood for the kitchen floor and our cabinets

In the meantime...Jake's mom made us the most beautiful blanket, just because. Isn't she sweet?! She is such a seamstress. It is so beautiful, I don't know how she finds time. I love it on our bed.

A picture says a thousand words

It really looks like a house... our house! The progress is amazing. I can't take pictures and update the blog fast enough to keep up. Every day something new is in and it looks different. These a few of my pictures since Pioneer Day.

I helped Jake sheet the trusses before everyone came to help put them on. The crane came a couple weekends ago and the Kendal boys again and James to set the trusses. It was crazy watching everything happen so high. I still can't believe no one got hurt. Amy and I threw the boys anything they needed while they balanced on top of the walls.














Jake built my stairs and landing into the mud room.

Here's how it looked at the end of the day.
