Progression of a House

Probably the only benefit of back-blogging is that you often get the whole story all at once instead of a bit at a time.  Such is the case with our new home.  They broke ground in September.  Now it is almost Thanksgiving, and we are scheduled to move in in 11 days.  Whoo-hoo!!  We can not wait!

 Framing



 Sheetrock

 My amazing kitchen over-looking the living room

 The Big Boys' Room

 They are so excited to have an up-stairs. 

 Brick

 Stone

 All done.  They bricked the whole house in 3 days.  These guys are crazy-hard workers!

 Next up: hard woods.

 We get to keep the left-over stone, so we tucked it away in the garage.

 One of my favorite parts of the house: the mud cabinet.

 Kitchen cabinets

 Pretty ceiling in the school room and master bedroom.

 Boys' Room again.

 Living room.  There are very dirty hardwoods under all that mess.

 Window seat in the playroom upstairs

 I am so excited about all this STORAGE!!

Kitchen almost done.

This house is so much more than we could ever have asked for or imagined.  The way the doors opened for us to get this amazing house for such an awesome deal, we know it was a gift from the Lord.  We are commited to use it for His glory and His purposes.  We are so excited to get started on this new chapter of our lives!
