The finished product - minus the landscaping!

Today was busy for everyone. The guys put the basement windows in! YEAH!!! They've started working on the egress openings, the framing inspection is done, the insulation is in, the electricians and plumbers have done their thing, AND it stopped raining! Next step, sheetrock. I forgot my camera today so I'll insert the insulation photo later. The flooring is selected and ordered as of tomorrow. I ordered the glass panes for the kitchen cabinets today, and went trekking through the mud with Jane to look at a fiberglass window well. Oh the places my guys send me to see what things look like. I'm glad to have someone with me. Sometimes my brain is so full of choices, I can't decide another thing. Oh, the ceramic tile is picked out for the master bath. I never imagined all the stuff you have to pick out...faucets, cabinet handles, doors, door handles, grout, and the list goes on, and on. I'm still enjoying it though. Keep us in your prayers that things will proceed quickly, the weather will hold, paperwork will process quickly and we get in before the holidays, in Jesus name. Thanks for stopping in.

Hello, well this has been a week of rain, mud, and forecast of snow. Yep, snow. Fortunately, we didn't get any. The siding is up around 3/4 of the house, all the soffits and fascia are on, and we're just waiting on the egress windows and retaining wall to go in. It's cold and cloudy now, and the number one priority is to get the outside of the house complete. So, pray with us for a several more days of good weather.
