No April Fool's Jokes


We drove down to the house Thursday after my chiropractor appointment to do some final layouts for the master bath. After we met with Sparkle, (yes, that IS her real name) about the flooring, we took a drive back over to the house to see how far they got in just a few hours. The floor was layed, and they were working on 5 walls.





And Friday, after we had driven to MD when O's flight was changed again, we received a call saying the plan wasn't going to work for the layout; there wasn't enough room.

So.... we drove back down this afternoon when we got home from MD.

We couldn't believe the progress that was made in just three days.


From left to right the rooms go as follows: O's room, the office, foyer, laundry, pantry, and then our bathroom is at the back wall of the garage. The porch is from the office wall to the laundry room, and will be covered.  Over head is the FROG (finished room over the garage, for those of you that live west of the Appalacheans. It's about the same size as our apartment was back home. It has an additional full closet and full bath that extends over our bathroom.


From the foyer you can look out what will be french doors off the great room. These actually are a separator between the living (great) room and the kitchen. You can sort of see the kitchen windows to the right of the door opening.


The is the back of the house. From left to right the rooms are the master bedroom, 4 windows make up the kitchen), the living (great) room with the french doors and windows, and then T's room.


....
Laying out another idea for a bathroom took about an hour and a half. As with anything, there was some compromising that entered in the picture. Smaller walk in closet, but only a half-wall for the biffy so the space doesn't feel so compressed. We also added a window above the lou, so sun could get in later in the day. It's probably not as much sun as I would like, but like I said.... there was compromise going on.
....
We won't be down again until next weekend.

Can you imagine what it will look like then?

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week! And as always,

be blessed!

Looks like your house is coming right along. I saw your comment...you did catch that I'm not having twins right? Just one and I know plenty of pregnant women with heartburn...and carrying both boys and girls.

HA HA - just saw that you didn't even comment on my joke post where I claimed I was having twins so ignore the previous comment. But yeah, we're positive she's a girl. We'll confirm at our 3D ultrasound. :)

This is so exciting! How can you not get giddy with excitement every time you visit the site? I know I would be dreaming about the house until the day I get to move in if we were building our own. :)

I was giddy when I walked into it this weekend! :o) It's really coming along, and almost Fairy-tale like.
