Our Brick Selection

We have got our brick picked out.

It is Glen-Gery brick.

It looks like it has been worn and it's not brand new.

The brick is only going on the ends of the house, like the house plan.

We have decided to add stone around the windows to incorporate the stone that we have used in our landscaping.

They should be here sometime in the middle of November to get started on this.

I can't wait.

I think it's going to look awesome!!

What do you think??

Do you like it?

Pictures to come.

Yes, We Are Still Building a House

In case you are wondering, we are still building a house.

We have a gorgeous black roof on.

It's hard for me to get a good straight on shot of the house because right beside me is a huge pile of dirt with weeds growing out of it.

It is finally starting to look the house plan,

don't you think?

  </>

Since my last post we have added a front porch and part of the windows and doors, too.

It has really changed the look of the house.

I am going to take some more pictures of the front door and show them to you very soon.

In the mean time, this is a close up of it.

Here is a shot of the cleaning crew.

Obviously Madison and Big Ran are moving really fast.

But Shafer stopped long enough to get his focused picture taken!

Sconces For The New House

 

We have received our houseplans in the mail.

It is very exciting to see the plans in more detail.

This being said, I have found some lighting for a little nook right outside the master bedroom.

These sconces are awesome.

I got these on ebay.

Gotta love ebay!

I have some bids in on other lighting as well.
