And the walls go up

The framing is almost complete on our house and they started putting the outside thermo ply stuff up. We lost 1/2 a day today due to rain but did meet with our builder to finalize some electrical detailing and go over the next couple of weeks.

He has the decking on roof scheduled for Friday & Saturday and then the roof will go on Monday. We should be ready for bricking in a week, we need to get our well installed ASAP. I'm hoping they get the permit for that this week as well.

We finally got the culvert installed by the county that we had been waiting in for 3 weeks, thank goodness the workers built a temp. drive or else we wouldn't even have foundation until it was installed!

This process is very exciting! We feel very blessed to be able to go through this.

Easter 2013

We had a great Easter weekend and a busy one indeed! Saturday we went to the church's egg hunt with games and a bounce house. Brody really got into hunting for as many eggs as he could get his hands on! Once Jax figured out there was candy inside that's all that interested him :)

We then went to my cousins house for a dinner and egg hunt and Sunday we went to Mike & Debbie's house. It was a beautiful day, filled with family and a great time was had my all!

We also did a little cleaning up at the new house :)

And just like that

We have foundation! I'm so excited to be able to walk on the beginning stages of our new house and envision the rooms and space! Our goal & the builder says he can make it happen is Memorial Day weekend we should be moving in! Fingers crossed for no delays. They will start framing this weekend and in a week we should have a roof on! Our builder said things begin to rock and roll now that we have the foundation ;)

Slowly moving along

The construction on our house is finally underway! We had to wait on the soul testing and the County to get a culvert put in so that the workers could deliver things to the lot (there is a small drainage ditch that runs in front of all the houses in the subdivision).

This week they've put the rough plumbing in so hopefully we have spanned poured next week

New Day Drive

We offically have a new address! We closed on our lot on the 22nd and things are underway. This week we have fill dirt delivered and forms. Next comes the rough plumbing, electrical and then our slab can be poured. We are hoping that happens by the end of next week. our builder said that once the foundation is poured we have roughly 75 days and that things will move quickly! We picked our brick last weekend and then we will pick out the stone and tile. I'm so excited! I really just want to be able to walk our house so that I can get a good feel for the rooms and layout. This past weekend, we went furniture shopping and I got a great deal on a new table and chairs. I also found several options for living room furniture, just need to decide on if we want a sectional or couch and chairs.

For my memory: the brick is called Port Edwards by Master brick

Brody turns 4

I cannot believe my first born is 4! He turned four Feb. 20th and we just celebrated at home this year. We really want to get the boys a playset at our new house so we decided to skip the party this year and put the money we would of spent towards the playset. We had cake, ice cream and decorations at my parent's house and this past Sunday we celebrate his and daddy's birthday over at my in-laws. We still owe him a day at the bounce house place during Spring Break :) hard to believe he was ever this small! We went to Dr Jones that Friday and he did great on his eye test but would not do his hearing! He's 40lbs and 49 inches tall(I think!) 90th percentile in both!
