Housing Update


The unusal amounts of snowfall have stalled the house-building arena. Trying to pour cement for deck pilings and a driveway and sidewalks--well, let's just say--A major challenge.



Looking out the bedroom door...
The plumbing and electrical work starts this week so some progress continues.

We picked out cabinets this weekend, doors, and did a walk-through with the plumber and electrician. This helped pull me out of the doldrums. It's nice to see some forward progess and feel that there will be a day when we'll actually live in this house!

Your prayers for smooth building, protection for all the workers, and workable weather are so appreciated!!

Here are the latest inside pictures and a few outside ones. (although, the outside hasn't changed much!)




The loft - my future office.










Looking down on the great room from the loft. Yes, the white stuff is snow!



Facing west and the entry door into the kitchen. The framing on the right is the pantry and the left, a half-bath.







The stairs going up from the basement.












I'll have more pictures as developments happen.

Until then, we're enjoying the winter, staying warm, and wishing you could enjoy this winter with us!
Drop me a line and let me know what's happening with you!
