Our Front Door - July

Happy Independence Day!!

I posted a video on my other blog, www.justrestingup.wordpress.com

Saturday in the Park by Chicago.

I love that song.

Here is what our front door looks like this month.

Just a star with a small flag draped through it.

Simple.

This is a picture of the whole doorstep.

Have a great day.

Window Shipment is Here

Now we are getting somewhere!!

The windows and the front door have arrived. 

We ordered them from Lansing Building Products, they were the only company that had the transom that I wanted for the front door.
And I must tell you, it is awesome.

There are triple windows, double windows with transoms, and I think every window is a different size.

Some of these windows are very heavy.

But don't worry, I was out there to supervise!

Before long they will be installed and you will be the first to know!

We Have a Garage

So far this week we have a garage added on to the rest of the house.

I don't think that I have mentioned who our builder is, his name is JR Cabra.

He and his crew are doing a great job.

Big Ran is not around today and wanted me to post some pictures of it, so here they are.

This picture was taken from inside the garage.

This is the hallway, half bath, mudroom, laundryroom, and pantry.

This is getting pretty exciting for me!!

Master Bedroom Headboard

I have ordered my master bedroom headboard.

I found it at www.hautelook.com.

Here is what it looks like.

 

I was going to try to do a DIY headboard from scratch.

But I don't think I could have beat this price!

Do you like it???

I sure hope I like it when it comes in.

This New House is Moving Right Along

We have walls!

I have been told that all the outside walls should be up today.

Yay!!

Putting the ceiling in the basement makes the basement seem much larger.

I had to get a picture of the guys in action.

Now I have to get the plans and figure out exactly where I want all of the inside walls to go.

No small task.

Wish me luck.

Progress, Progress, Progress

So far we have beams up in the basement.

The stairs are boxed in.

Some of the floor is being laid.

Doesn't look like a house to me yet.

Here is a view from the basement up.

I never had any idea how many tresses it takes to hold up a floor.

I will feel very safe walking across it.

Just taking you through every step of the way.
