WELCOME TO OUR NEW HOME



Our new home as of mid-June. We are decorated a little bit for fall. My fall wreath that I had used for many years finally had to be trashed. I kept some things from it that were still in good condition. About a week ago, I felt like we needed a wreath. I pulled out my box from the closet with all the loose goodies and went to the garage and found a bare grapevine wreath. I went to work and after two burns and one ruined fingernail, I had a wreath.

A SHORT TOUR




Welcome to the foyer of our new home. I have finished painting a few rooms. The builder only allowed one interior color and it was just too blah. The foyer is chocolate brown about the color of chocolate milk.

This is a shot of our dining room taken from the great room.


This is where the foyer and dining room meet. You can also see the door to the hallway that leads to the bedrooms. The columns are very tall and needed something visual or architectural on them. I added the sconces and candles and really like how they turned out. With the candles lit, the room looks neat with the glow from the candles.

LOOKS LIKE A HOUSE

It really is looking like a house now. The crews are taking advantage of the long days and great weather we have had. It's raining today so not much will happen I'm sure. They probably will work on the inside though.

WE HAVE WALLS

We have walls. All of the exterior and interior walls are up. The roof trusses are on top but had not been put in place yesterday afternoon. I'm sure that is what they are doing today. The nice weather is certainly working to our advantage.
Check back again for more updates.

WE HAVE LUMBER!!

The lumber has arrived. The construction crew was beginning to assemble with all of their equipment. We expect to see some walls tomorrow when we are there.

WE'RE GETTING CLOSER

We are definitely getting closer. Framing will be next. As we left our lot last night, we passed two big trucks loaded with lumber. I hope they were going to our lot. Terry will go back by today to see if framing has begun.


Like my new wheels? We loaded this van full of boxes. Terry is going back today with another load.

Later,
