TWO more weeks!


Can you believe it?! Neither can we! 2 more weeks left of the house build and we'll be movin' on in. I looked back on all of the pictures we took throughout this building journey and I am so glad we documented the build. It's amazing to see a muddy hole in the ground turn into a basement. Wood pillars and sheathing turn into drywall and rooms, and well trod flooring turn into a beautiful tile masterpiece. It really is coming together in these last 3 weeks, and the energy at the house seems to be buzzing with busyness.

The tile guys should be finished Monday, so the electrical and plumbing guys can come in and add their finishing touches next week. Along with carpeting and finishing up the stone on the fireplace, there aren't many other check marks to make. Ryan and I did our best this week to wait for the excitement, and instead of going out to the house everyday like last week, we frequented our house only twice this week. Which really made us happy because we got to see a lot of improvement in both of those visits.

Its going to be a weird transition to start staying "our house" instead of "the house." I think we confuse people when we tell them we went out to "the house" and then came back home to have dinner. Home is still the apartment for the next few weeks! Hopefully another update will be coming soon! What will we blog about after this project is finished? :)


What the entryway is looking like nowadays


kitchen back splash is in!

tile is in the guest bathroom as well


Ryan made this choice during our home selections to do a stained banister with iron railings. I wasn't too sure about it...but I love it! Good work Ryan!
