Building

Our lot has been purchased, house plans have been finalized and the hole has been dug!  We are hopefully well on our way to building our new house.  This house is about a block or two away from our old one, with just a few slight revisions in floor plans.  The big change- 3 bedrooms on one floor!  We will also have a bigger dining room, which should hopefully hold a lot of guests for dinners and other get togethers.  However, the yard is much smaller and we are hoping it will still be a good place for a patio and a backyard game or two- we'll have to wait and see.  This week they are hoping to have some or most of the framing done.  We have picked out a lot of the products- siding, shakes, outside rock and trim, plumbing fixtures, most of the lighting, fireplace, and cabinets.  Tomorrow we are going to pick out the countertops, tile and carpet.  The house is on schedule to be finished in September or October.

Small, but pretty private backyard :)
