Windows

Almost all of the windows are in.  The only remaining window in the house that needs to be installed is the large window in the back that has an arch above it.  The wrong one was ordered so we are waiting for the new one to arrive.  They started to work on the soffit on the garage and more progress has been made on the chimney for the wood burning fireplace on the screened porch.  Our electric was supposed to be turned on today, but the electric company got held up.  Now that the windows are in, Jesse's said his next step will be to put on the siding and stone and work on the electric.  Some of the siding has been delivered.  It's awesome!  Can't wait till it's on the house so we can share pictures.  Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

A bit overdue...

I guess we are a bit overdue for an update to the blog.  We've had a tough couple of weeks with my ectopic pregnancy and emergency surgery on Mother's Day.  I'm on the mend and want to thank everyone for all the support during our difficult time.  With that, I guess some updating is in order!

Our appliances came in last Friday.  I know it's a bit early to get them, especially since we don't even have dry wall up in the house, but I was worried that particular items would be discontinued and there is a rebate going on right now.  Got to love getting money back! 

Our garage roof has been completed and part of the sip panels have been put up.  They have gotten a little behind due to all the rain we have been getting lately.  Hopefully our arched windows will go in soon.

I ordered all the hardware for the cabinetry today since Directbuy is having a special till June on Amerock hardware.  I'm also going to be ordering the kitchen pendants soon since Directbuy is running a special on these as well.  Here is what I have chosen for the pendants for over the island:
Landmark Lighting

Here are some pictures of the progress.  I promise we will do better with updating the blog.
