While Dad and Di were here last weekend, they had a chance to hang up some of their paintings. David installed special lights into the ceiling that will illuminate each painting.
The raccoon painting looks so great as you look through the arch and down the hall.
Dad and Di have put A LOT of details into every inch of the house! Of course, the decisions are not done yet...almost! Here is the tile they have picked out to go with the counter top in the kitchen.
Just when David thought his days of laying tile were over....actually, laying tile at the entrance in the living room was a very smart idea. The carpet will be installed shortly and this will help to prolong the life of the carpet.
The tile extends into the living room closet.
These are the lights that Dad and Di picked out for the laundry / storage room. They look really nice in person.
WOW!!! 100 posts on the blog! This is where it all happens. I can easily escape being on the blog when I am the one taking the pictures but since Dad was here this weekend, I didn't have a choice! :) 
David and I (as well as the boys) are so excited for our new neighbors to move in! We will enjoy having more family here in Virginia. 
This past weekend we enjoyed the first of MANY card games at the Trexler House. We moved our outdoor furniture into the living room so we would be able to "test out the house!"
I am glad that so many of you have enjoyed the blog so far! I started it so that Dad and Di could see each stage of their home being built. It has been a wonderful journey and I am glad that so many people have had a chance to share it will us! 
Dad was showing me the new kitchen faucet. This thing is VERY heavy and will look great when the sink and counter top are installed.
David, Dad, Di and the twins worked to install all of the knobs and handles on the kitchen cabinets and drawers.
Each new thing that gets puts into the kitchen compliments all of the other things! A lot of planning went into each detail of the Trexler House!
Zach loves the stairs that go up to the "loft." It's a rather large storage area above the garage. 
They may not have moved any furniture into the house yet, but Dad was excited to find a place for his work bench!
A sink in the garage is always a good thing! This sits over the valves to the radiant heat that is in the garage floor.
The concrete on the front porch was another surprise for Dad and Di. They knew it was happening but didn't see any pictures.
There are two "flower boxes" on either side of the garage door. I planted these just before Dad and Di arrived so that the house would have a more "homey" feel to it.
Lots of finishing touches were put into the bathrooms this week. After the tile went down, the sinks and toilets were installed. Diane also brought shower curtains to hang.
The blue bathroom is the master bathroom.
This is the tile that went into both of the bathrooms. The following pictures are of the guest bathroom.
When Dad and Di arrived on Thursday night, this is what they saw as they drove up the driveway! When the garage door opened and they realized they were going to be able to drive in, Diane was SCREAMING, "Bus driver, MOVE THAT BUS!" It really did feel like an episode of Extreme Home Makeover! They had no idea that the garage door opener had even been installed!
Today has been such beautiful weather and they wanted to make sure they found some time to plant some of the plants they had brought from New York.
Rebecca arrived just in time to lay the LAST tile on the kitchen floor! David is VERY happy it is done!
Ok, Ok, the torture is over! We couldn't take it any longer! Dad and Di are coming for a visit next weekend and we were trying to hold off on the blog until they got here. Oh, well, here are some GREAT new pictures!
This kitchen looks so nice!
Today David and Kenny laid 400 tile in the kitchen! 
Zachary is VERY happy to have his own mode of transportation to get to Grandma and Papa's house! All that mud is from today's many trips through the woods. He wants Grandma to get a four wheeler, too!
The crew was busy laying DuraRock down in the laundry room and kitchen today. The Tile will be going on top of that.
Finally, a picture of the guest bathroom. Without a window it has been pretty hard to take pictures in this room. Now with the paint on the walls, the flash worked pretty well!
Dad will be building a medicine cabinet for this bathroom as well as the master bathroom. It's great that he will be getting to put his own personal touches into the house!
Once Dad and Di move to VA, I'm sure they will spend a lot of time doing their own blogging here in the office! :)
