MILESTONES: Making Progress!

NOTE: I posted about our old house and the move a few weeks ago, but for some reason it posted down before Clint's birthday...you have to scroll down to see it. It's called "Extreme Wright Makeover." You'll want to check it out before reading this post....:-)

The house is really coming along! This week we will have reached a milestone as we will be getting the insulation blown in! Yeah! (for those of you that are like me and are not really sure why that is so significant...it means that dry wall and hardwood floors are just around the corner! yeah!) Clint has been working SO hard to get everything finished to his point. He goes to his jobsite all day and then continues working at our house until about 9:30 every evening. He has also been working 10-12 hour days every weekend. I don't know how he does it, but Trinity and I are SO appreciative of all his hard work. (not to mention it has been 100+ degrees outside!) It looks like the tentative move in date is around September 30th.Clint assures me that although the house will not be finished at that point, it will be "live-able"....now the definition of "live-able" could be argued...but never the less, we'll be in our home!

Milestones thus far:

-jack-hammered concrete slab in kitchen & bathroom to move plumbing

-tear down walls and move others to open the floorplan

-flip/flop master bedroom & bathroom in the floorplan

-install new windows throughout the house

-added two new sets of french doors to the backyard

-added a brick mailbox

-removed window seats in dining and guest bedrooms (they were ugly!)

-reframed celings in kitchen, dining, living & master bedroom

-framed the kitchen island & put in pilars

-framed the kitchen pantry

-installed and connected all plumbing throughout the house

-installed and connected all electrical throughout the house

-installed a brand new roof

Front of the house, we have installed all new windows, added the mailbox, put on a new roof, taken out window boxes and pulled weeds from the yard (we were left with dirt!).

View of the kitchen with the new windows, island & pilars!

View of the livingroom from the island in the kitchen...it's changing so much already!

New french doors and windows in our master bedroom (keep in mind this used to be the master bathroom)...what a view!

...MORE TO COME!! We'll keep you posted!
