House Update...

Sorry it's been so long but finally here is another house update. I had a realization as I was just typing the subject of this post that our new house has become the new "birthday post". By the time this thing gets finished you are all going to be so sick of it you'll be rejoicing that you don't have to hear about it any more. But hopefully it hasn't gotten to that point yet.

So here comes a lot of pictures...

Within a couple days after they got the downstairs all framed they had all the walls upstairs framed!

Unfortunately there were no stairs...so we could see it.

Then, the day they were going to build the stairs, these monsters showed up for the roof. So they had to postpone the stairs and get the roof on.

So then it looked much more like a house! Which was awesome! But still we couldn't go upstairs...

So we just walked around the outside taking pictures of things upstairs. This is the master bedroom window (which is seriously enormous). It looks out the back of the house.

Another shot of the back of the house...

The side of the house...

Oh and here is the sign at the front of the neighborhood!! We are lot 20 so you can try to find us...
And then finally it happened. The stairs went in (this was last Friday...sorry again for such a long delay). So here is the first (rudimentary at best) tour of the upstairs!

This is the master bedroom.

And the aforementioned HUGE window.

This is the master bath. It's actually 2 rooms, so what you can see here is where the shower and toilet will be and where I am standing is where the 2 sinks will be.

DSCN0427
This is the guest bedroom. You are actually looking through the guest room, through the guest closet, into the master bathroom (on the back wall of the house) in case you are trying to get some kind of spacial feel for where you are.

DSCN0430
This is the guest bath. Again, 2 rooms, so what you see is the tub/toilet, and where I am standing is where the sink will be.

DSCN0431
Here is guest room #2 which will actually be Kirsten's office. It is now the tool shed.

DSCN0432
This is the view out of the office (front of the house).

DSCN0433
The view from the guest bedroom (left side of the house).

DSCN0436
And the view from the master (back of the house).

DSCN0434
And here's the laundry room, which is above the stairs.

DSCN0435
And here's the attic!

So that's all for now. We actually have a couple pictures from this week, but we will post them soon. We don't want to cram too much in at a time! So that's it for now!!!
