What a difference a week makes

We went by the house today for the first time since before Christmas and were so surprised by how much had been done.  With it being a holiday week we really didn't expect to notice much difference, but we were so wrong.  There was so much that looked different.


The siding has started to be put on, the front and wrap-around porch decking was done and the roof for those were almost completed.

The screen porch was roofed and almost done being framed out.


All of the windows will be in by this afternoon and a lot of the exterior doors are already in.


Little framing things that needed to be corrected had been including the closet in the playroom that was added and the vaulted ceilings for the office.


The stairs are also done which meant the kids got to go up and check out their bedrooms for the first time!


Hudson's room will be the one closest to the Master and although it has a walk-in closet, it is the smallest closet of the three.  We are going to let the girls choose which rooms they want and of course they both decided on the same one.  When I pointed out the nice things about the other room they both wanted the second one.  Figures.  I told them we still have plenty of time to decide.  Both rooms are about the same size and with large closets.  They are just facing different ways and the closets are shaped a little differently.



The girls walked around taking pictures the entire time and were fascinated by the little things like the bathtubs.  I'm loving how they are getting to watch and experience this process with us and I know that since this will be the house they will grow up in, it will be fun memories for all of us.
