Day 18-our interior of the house

Brent and I got to see the inside of the house! Although it is still in need of a lot more work (walls, carpet, paint, appliances, etc), it is starting to look like a house. I will try to give you the virtual tour of the house...
Here is what you will first see when you walk in the front door, our small living room looking out into our backyard. We will have a fence put up with some hedges so you won't really be able to see that house through the window very well...

This is the opposite view of what you'll see coming in. This is taken from inside the living room looking at our front door (which will be black on the outside and I think just normal door color on the inside) and the hall closet on the right and wall on the left....

Now we're in our kitchen standing about where the island will be looking out into the backyard off the porch. Just to the right (which you can't really see) will be our small breakfast nook).

No house is complete without some countertops and a kitchen sink...(that's what you're looking at now). Our staircase goes behind the kitchen and spits you out in the breakfast nook area. Our stove is I think on the left of this picture and I don't remember where our fridge will be???

Now we've traveled upstairs to the hall bathroom...

This is our bedroom taken from the bedroom door. It kinda does an L shape so you can't really see it all. That goes into our bathroom, where our closet will be.

This is our 2nd bedroom. The picture of the office didn't turn out cuz it just looks like all boards but it will be to the right of this room...

Here's our furnance, which for some reason Brent was really proud of! It too is upstairs next to our laundry room

There were a few more pictures but I can't remember what they are and so as not to confuse myself, I'll just wait til they take shape! The house is coming along. It will be nice when it is finished. Not everything we had thought it was going to be, a lot of suprises along the way, but in the end I think it will do us just fine! And the best part of it, is we won't be paying RENT any longer!!!!!!! I'm not sure when we'll get more pictures but check back. We'll try to get back in on the 23rd!

Day 17, our grey house

So I am finally back to the blog....Zepper insured me he took care of everything to keep you all up to date on the house! I am feeling better each day from my surgery and am thankful I can be back involved with the blog. A lot happened while I was "out of the picture". I also kinda lost track of what day we were on, but Friday Aug. 7th, was day 17!!! As you can see we now have siding on the house and you can start to see our grey house!!! I wasn't 100% sure about the color but now seeing it on the house, I think I am liking it more and more!


Here is the back of the house!


And the front porch area!

Tomorrow we are going to get to "walk through" the house so stay tuned for our first interior pictures of the house. It will be the first time we get to start to see the offical layout of the house on something more than a picture! Although we saw the one home under contsruction, we have never seen OUR house. It should be pretty exciting! I am starting to begin to feel like this is our home more and more! (I'm starting to get attached!!!!!!)

Days 10 & 11

Zepper here again! Well I got Brittny out today for the first time post surgery so that is a very good sign. Look at the progress on the house the roof is complete with shingles and vents. It looks like the house is completely wrapped and the siding is ready to go up. I am afraid that once the siding goes up that the pictures may slow down. Once the outside is complete then the inside begins with fun stuff like electrical, plumbing and sheet rock (whoopee). Anyways enjoy the pictures on another beautiful Washington summer day.

Day 9

This is Zepper doing a couple blogs while Brittny is recovering fully from her surgery. First an update on Brittny - she has had a very trying week! She had a laparoscapy on Tuesday which the news that came back was good but the recovery has been tough. She has been dealing with much pain, naseu and other stuff I won't go into detail about. But with your prayers and much rest she is feeling better day by day. Once I got Brittny on the couch, loaded her full of drugs and watched her slip away to la la land I was able to sneak away for a few pictures. Day the nine the framing has been complete and the siding and roofing materials look like they may be next. Check it out......
