House Updates!

I know, I know, it has been awhile since I have updated. But I'm doing it now so calm down... :)

It seems sometimes that things couldn't go any slower, then all the sudden, you look and "bam" you have a fireplace on the back porch!  When we got  home from Austin and after church this morning I drove up to see what had been done. We have 4 windows in and the front porch is on and decked.  It looks so good!

Electrician will be getting started soon. He has already put some conduit in the front so the "brickers" can start the stone around the bottom of the house. In case I want a fountain or something that needs to be plugged in. Brad and I have done a walk through marking a place for light switches and that kind of thing. That was kinda difficult.
They have been doing some stucco on some areas and it looks so good.

Also I have picked out some "Granite" that I'm totally in love with. It is black, gray, cream, and kind of a taupe color. I really love it!

I was really concerned about how my brick and stone would look together, but it looks great!  Well in my opinion any way!!

So that's about it. I don't really know whats next. I do know that there is some painting that needs to be done on the overhangs and soffits and the stucco. All that needs to be done so he doesn't have to tape off close to the roof areas.

So anyway I know maybe it doesn't sound like that much has been accomplished but it's moving along.

David and Billy this is where the staircase will be.

The second story has been wall in, no more daylight.

Fireplace work for the Lanai.

TaDa!! Love it!

This is the window that's been put in and the stucco and you can see the finished fireplace.

This is upstairs in the bonus room, looking into the kids play area and to the left is the craft room.

These are the paint choices for the stucco color. I'm thinking the 4th one from the left.

This is the back of the house, just showing some of the "Decra Roof."

More of the back of the house and the side. Views of stucco and the dormer and the door from the garage.

The front of the house, working on the front porch.

This is the view from the Master bedroom window, looking on to the Lanai.

Bonus Room, where the balcony will be, (picture French Doors there.)

This is looking into the Craft Room and the play area of the Bonus Room.

The kids play area. It steps up here, so they should have fun jumping off the steps here. Especially Haden!

This is around the side back, window in the Master Bathroom where the tub is.

This is looking at the Lanai and into the living room, breakfast nook to the right and door to master bedroom. To the left of the fireplace is either Lukes bedroom or the spare bedroom.
