Drywall














Things have been progressing nicely at the house. The crew has been hard at it with hanging and finishing drywall. It looks great! We are very pleased with the work and continue to be tickled with our contractor.

We (I) have been overwhelmed with the "picking finishes" stage of the project. There are just too many decisions to make and nothing on the first try is within budget. Thank God I chose construction and not architecture for a profession. I couldn't survive in that world! We are slowly but surely plugging away at paint colors, cabinet selections, tile picks, hardwood flooring picks, etc. The next major task is lighting...ugh.

Siding!

Looks like we have finally been able to start siding at the house.  We went through a difference of opinions with siding contractor as to how the windows would be trimmed and what color schemes to use.  I really like how it is coming out.  Glad we went with our gut!
