The house has been wrapped for siding and the outside stairs are done.....

My 4 ft shower wall and step are done in the master bath....


Spot where TV is inset into the wall....
 Skylights in porch outside for more light.....


Windows have gone in! 






And last the shiplap siding for parts of the house getting stained.....


And the electrical is all in the house! 
This house is coming together so quickly! Amazing! Every day there is more and more to look at. I haven't been to the lot today but I am sure there is a lot more progress! More to come!

For the New House!

A few items we will purchase or have purchased for the house.....

Doorbell for the front door: (we are thinking we might get more than one to switch them out as they are different colors)

 Those are just a few of the items Jon and I loved! We will be purchasing little by little and hopefully not have to buy it all at once as we find things day to day that we absolutely love! As we find more stuff I will post just for the heck of it.

Closer and closer!

Day by day it gets more and more exciting to drive to the lot after work. It is a simpler ride to get to the lot from work, less time and less lights to stop at. Either way at first I didn't want to go all that much but now I am so excited to go after work just to see what has happened. More progress :-) See below.
Trying to figure out the stairs......tricky!

They figured them out! These are the 2nd to 3rd floor stairs.

Another view.

This is a special cat box room. It is underneath the stairs and it stands about 3 1/2 feet tall. Great use of under the stairs!
This is the wall between the kitchen and the atrium. It is framed for the fridge.

The metal for the atrium is being installed!
Another view of the metal! (And the sun is gone for a while! Giving the workers a break)

This is samples of Nichiha, a possible siding choice.
