Closets Built


The closets are built and paint priming has already begun. I'll take more pictures over the weekend and get them posted.


Almost all the cabinets are in, the baseboards are complete and primed and the wood beams in the Game Room have been installed. Also this week we ordered the garage door, all the electrical fixtures (well, almost all) and everything should be in for the plumbing and other installation after the counter tops are installed!


Oh, and we ordered the stools for the bar. It's getting very exciting folks!

Old House Goes Up for Sale

Our old house went up on www.fsbobr.com last night. If you know anyone who needs a house, check out this link: http://www.fsbobr.com/explore.cfm/area04/102053 to see pictures and information on the house. It's a great house, we're just more excited about moving into our new one that Rick hopes to have us in by Christmas.

Home for the holidays indeed. Thank goodness I bought LED Christmas lights after the holidays last year!

Exterior Finishing Almost Complete

From the outside, you'd never know it's a concrete house. A lot of people asked about using ICF and wondered if it would make the house look bulky or odd.

With beautiful architectural stone and a stucco finish, it looks just like a regular house, except on one of the most important pieces of paper, the energy bill.

Robert from R&S Superior Cabinets is also doing a great piece of millwork for that front gable, so stay tuned to see how it develops. On the inside the cabinets are almost done, the doors mostly hung and the trim started last week as well. The house is really coming together. Check out the slideshow for more pictures.
