It's been a busy month...

Eric installed our cabinets.

Chloe helped :)

Blake was a HUGE help!

It is really looking Good!

I love the new lights
The kitchen is almost done, we just have
to finish installing and painting trim.


The banisher just needs stain



Here is a view of the kitchen from
1/2 way into the livingroom.

I love this seat. It needs a cushion but it is
a nice place for people to visit.
I am excited about the kitchen.

I love the apron sink.


New Microwave

I love the bookshelf, and the granite
countertops.

Early November updates:

The Electrical Inspector came and wanted us to
wire the addition a little differently than
Eric had planned. So Eric got dressed up
in his Rain gear on a very rainy Friday morning.
And they dug a ditch from the Garage to
the house so they could put pipe in
and shoot the electrial wire to power the
additon. He LOVED it! :(
They dug up my expensive and well planned out
gravel driveway.
Here is how the addition attaches to
to the house.

Things are started moving along this week!

End of October updates...

Chloe loves to get into Grandma & Grandpa's Shower...
when her clothes are wet we know where she has been.

Both My girls work at Coffee Stands... On opposite sides of the city.
Amy @ The Coffee Cottage.
Chelsey @ Round up a Latte
Our Halloween Pumpkin.

There are no house updates because one contractor
is sick and the other show's up when he want's to.

Mid October Changes to our house...

Here is our back yard when we bought the house.
We didn't know that rain water
Didn't drain from our yard. It was all clay so it just sat in the
yard and made it all muddy from Oct. to May.

So when we decided to remodel we also decided to
fix the yard so we could plant trees in the back and have a garden.
Here is Bob digging a drainage system for
Our yard. He dug a huge pond in the back
for all the water to drain into.

Here is a picture on our first day of Rain.

The pond is nearly full.

Our drainage system works!

Here is what the back of our house looked like when we bought it.
Here is what it looks like today, although the siding is all the way on.

So we started building the rooms in our basement.
We have changed our family room
and made three rooms. What you see here is what will be the shop
and laundry room. The two white doors open up into our garage.
They replace what was a sliding glass door and a large window.
Here is looking down our hall way with in the basement from one end
of the house to the other. I am standing in the shop and the
opening on the left goes into our new laudry room and
the framing on the right is the wall for a new bedroom.

Here is another picture of our new laundry room.

We will be excited when it is all done!
