In New House

Some pics of the new house. We moved in a litle over a month ago we love our new house. Thanks to all the family and friends for helping us accomplish this dream!!

Nearly Complete

Nearly Done!!!

This week will be our last week of construction, exciting!! We plan on moving in on the 14th!! The building process has been alot of fun but making it our home will be great.

Looking like a HOUSE

It's been a busy time around the house. Drywall is completed, plastering is completed and the painters will be there on Wednesday to put a base color on, then Saturday the real paint crew come's in (Jenna and some family).

This week, sidding, brick, and some flooring. The finishing stage is here and the end is near!!

Drywall

This week we poured concrete in the garage, insulated the house, and began hanging blue board (drywall).

Next week, finish blue board, fireplace install and maybe some sidding...........we'll see!!

Framing nearly complete

Hello one and all!!

We hope everybody had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

It's been awhile since we've posted updates. The Holidays slowed things down quite a bit as expected. Things are starting to pick up again as we poured our basement slab, finished framing, and the electricians, plumbers, and HVAC crew's have been here all week doing there rough-in's.

Next week the weather is going to get EXTREMELY COLD so if everything goes as planned, insulation will be here on Tuesday so we don't have to work in -30 temps!! BRRRRRRR

The Roof is on FIre!!!

Ok, not really but WE HAVE A ROOF!! There has been alot of hours put into shoveling snow OUT of our future house but............ NO MORE!!

Tired of seeing snow in the house

Trusses!! We LOVE trusses!!

Waterproof......... from above at least. Greeeaaaatttt!!!

This week, another 9-15 inches of snow is coming, LET IT SNOW!!

WE HAVE WALLS!!!

This week we put up our exterior and some of our interior walls!! This house is really starting to take shape!!

We have a bit of a skylight problem since there is no roof and it's going to snow 3-6 inches tonight....... This will be the second time we have to shovel snow out of our house!!

Come on trusses, hopefully this week!!

Framing 1

It's been awhile since we've updated progress on the house. Jacob's been finishing some other job sites that were started before our house.

But this last week, framing started!!!!!!!!!! It's starting to take shape!!

Floor Joist

Plywood on the floor

This next week should be exciting, we're gonna have walls!!

Update:

The last week has gone fast!! We are happy to report that everything is progressing nicely!! In the first week we have dug a hole, put in footing, set and pour foundation walls, waterproof and insulate the basement, and put in drainage tile to keep our basement dry :)

Some pics:
