Garage Doors Are Georgeous!

This place is really coming along! Today the garage door arrived and was installed! I don't know about anyone else but I think it look great from any angle!

Painting in the Master Bedroom!

David had a busy day (and evening) painting the ceilings and the walls of the master bedroom and bathroom--plus the closet. The closet walls are white along with the ceilings in all the rooms.

Remember When?

Do you remember back in November when the second wall of the house went up? Well, before you continue, take another look at the video clip to refresh your memory!

Doesn't that seem like a long time ago? Well, here is what that wall looks like today!

David got the beautiful blue paint on the walls of the master bedroom! They will be putting their bed right under the window!

Primer in the Kitchen!

If you have been following the blog, you know where this picture was taken! That's right, these are the French doors in the kitchen.
The sink will be directly under these two windows.

This wall is to the right of the French doors. The kitchen table will be about where David was standing when he took the picture.

On the left of the picture is a kitchen wall. From this angle, you can see into the living room and part of the hallway. I can't believe how good things are looking...and this is only PRIMER! Can't wait for paint!

Primer in the Living Room!

David worked by himself today to prime the remainder of the hallway, the living room and the kitchen.
Here are some more shots of the living room.

It's easy to see where all of the lights will be now that everything is one color.

Some More Priming!

Here a picture of the office. (David has also had to do the photography as I am still not feeling myself.)

Hallway...looking into the livingroom.

Hallway...looking towards the bedrooms.

This was taken in the guest bathroom.

Time For Primer!

Before they could begin putting primer on the walls, all of the walls had to be washed to remove sheetrock dust. Ryan and Davey worked hard cutting in the edges in the master bedroom and David came behind them with the roller.
Davey left the climbing to Ryan since he is still in his boot cast.

The pictures above and below are of the master bedroom now ready for paint!

"Uncle Bruce's room" was primed yesterday as well. We wonder what shade of pink Di has picked out for the walls. :)

The Siding is Done!

Our daffodils are coming up here in Virginia!

Here are some pictures of the completed siding on the front of the house. David also installed the porch and garage lights.

Garage and Siding

I was trying to take a picture of the rounded corners in the living room/hallway area. I'm not sure if you can tell, but it really softens up the space.
Today David and Kenny worked on the upper part of the siding as well as the front.

David also wrapped the outside of the garage. Everything at this point is starting to feel like a final touch.

More and More Siding!

Today they worked on finishing the back side of the house and got a lot of the front of the house sided.
David's brother, "Yankee," stopped by to lend a helping hand.

Looks like the "Liddle Brothers" could start their own siding business.

The weather has really been nice this week (in the 70's) so working outside has been ideal!

Tape and Mud!

Well, I didn't expect to be taking pictures at 7:30 at night (that's usually when I am on the phone with the home owners discussing the blog:) but David wasn't sure I had seen the progress on the inside of the house--he was right! The taping and mudding began today.
The "stuff" (since I don't know the technical term) leaning on the wall is for the arch way.

David put the plastic up in the arch way to show me how it would look. It smooths it out and makes it a PERFECT arch!

Here is a section of the garage. You can see the shine on the concrete floor--it's because the moisture is coming out of the floor. David says it's sweating. I know Dad will think that the power company came, but I just have a REALLY good flash on my camera. It was actually pitch dark in the garage.

Our house only has one panel box, the Trexler house has two. Everything is all hooked up and ready for power.

Siding-Back Side of the House

Today David and Kenny worked on finishing the siding on the back side of the house.
Once again, these French doors are my favorite! They just keep getting better!

Ryan rushed down to the house to help out after school. With Davey's broken ankle, David is glad to have Kenny around to help out for a few days.

This is not an angle of the house that I usually photograph. That's because it is VERY wet and wet clay is not fun to walk in. But I walked through the woods today to get these shots. Oh, the things I'll do for a decent picture!
