Paint & Garage Doors

Garage doors are in. Will someone please roll the trash bin to the street?

The bonus room above the garage is a light blue - very pretty.
Basement room is a beige-coral color that we are hoping will go nicely with the terra cotta tiles for the floor.
One of the upstairs bedrooms is a light yellow called "morning sun" which is ironic since the room faces west!

Drywall & Heat

Dry wall installation sure makes the inside take shape.

We have heat inside that the drywall finishers need in order to put the mud on the walls.
On the outside the stone finish is around to the front.

Here is the latest video:

Well & Patio

This week we figured out how we are doing the cabinets and the placement in the kitchen. Once the order is placed we should have the cabinets by the end of December.

The major changes this week were the well being dug and this concrete patio outside of the basement.
Since the videos do not always work on the blog, I've gone back to uploading them to you tube and providing the link:

Fall Changes

The deck is now in place all the way around the back.
This is the HVAC unit in the basement. There is also one in the upstairs and one in the bonus room to heat and cool the bonus room and the breezeway.
Look at all those wires! Lots of electrical work has been done and Jacob installed the camera mounts so that we will be able to keep track of the place remotely.
We now have doors!

Here is the video from October when Grandma DeNearing and Aunt Jeanette were visiting:

This is the video from Nov 6 when we got back from our travels ; Jim & Jacob to South Dakota to hunt with Luci and Linda to Eugene to play Halloween with Lisa, Holly & Luke.

Twin Trees

Our street sign is up!Jacob painted on the waterproofing for the "wine cellar"
The main stairs are now in - this is the view from the front door.

Windows and Stairs

Lots of work has been done on the house; the siding is on the dormers, most of the windows are in, there are stairs now to the bonus room and to the basement, electrical power cable has been buried and attached, and the framing of the finished basement has begun.

These are the stairs that go up to the bonus room above the garage; much more convenient than climbing a ladder!

Shingles and Stones

Since we were away and did not see the progress for 2 weeks, it seems like there were lots of changes. The shingles are on most of the roof, and inside the framing is started so that the rooms are all taking shape.
The fireplace stone is so nice. This is the view from the back porch and shows all of the work that is done on the back deck framing, too.
