Windows, Sheetrock and a time to Swing

Things are really moving along!  This week we got sheetrock on the walls and windows in the sunroom and bathroom - yeah and yeah! Oh and little buddy found a swing down the street that he thought was super, super fun!

Buddy and Puppy are like...come on in...see our new house!

 Soon to be back door...

Sunroom with windows - yeah...

Kitchen with sheetrock...

New wall between living and dining room...


Back of house with the new sunroom...


Master bathroom with the new windows...love them!

Oh look at this fun swing! What? You're supposed to ride on it? But pushing it is so much more fun!




PS - Asher picked out his own outfit today with pajama pants and a shirt that totally doesn't match - hahaha...

Current Updates

I'm excited cause after several months of planning and tearing down, I feel like we're finally at the stage where the house is being put back together!  YEAH!  The sheetrock came this weekend and the windows should be here this week too...which means painting inside and out can start soon - yeah, yeah, yeah!  The custom cabinets are being made and should be done next week and the flooring is all ready and just waiting on the paint to be finished.  The crew finished the outside hardiplank siding last week! And Kris worked super hard this weekend to get the garage and kitchen prepped...here are some of the latest pics!

Here is the wall going between the dining room and living room, there will be 2 glass doors on barn door hardware that go in the open space...super excited for it!

Here are some pics of the new sunroom we added off the back of the house.  This space should be awesome, I can't wait to use it this summer...


 Here's little buddy checking out the space, he's excited too!

We're going to put the old cabinets from the kitchen in the garage to keep everything organized, it should be greatness!

Here is the kitchen as it currently looks. DH worked super hard this weekend to rip everything out!


We took part of the wall between the kitchen and living room out to help open up the space.  Super jazzed about the fact that I will be able to see the TV and people in the living room while I cook!

Powder Room (notice the awesome wallpaper is gone):
 Little Buddy's bathroom:


Master Bedroom:

Master bathroom, puppy Pate is checking it out...we got the most giant, of giant bathtubs for the master bathroom, I'm so excited to use it!  It will be great for soaking after a long day...plus it can double as a swimming pool for little Buddy...

Backyard, we added some french doors in the garage, it's so nice to have natural lighting in there!

Puppy and Buddy hanging out together in the new sunroom...

This is where our storage shed will go (once we built it)...we're saving up spare lumber now...

These are building plans we downloaded for the new shed...let us know if anyone wants to come help :)


Once we got home Buddy decided he needed some down time with Barley and Thomas the train on the TV...
