I'm Getting Excited, Part 2

Excited isn't even the word for my emotions about our new house.  It seems like things have really started happening very quickly.  This is where I left you last time....

Since then SOOOO much has happened.  Let's see, the garage was poured, all of the framing was finished, the roof was done, we added another room upstairs and eletrical, plumbing and the heating and air was started.  Whew!  Here is where we are now....

This picture was actually taken a couple of weeks ago, but not much has changed outside.  The night this picture was taken Dustin and I walked around amazed.  Look, we have a front door....

And electrical outlets....

Who knew I'd ever be so excited about electrical boxes???  I need help.  Serious help.  You see, I was downright giddy over a chimney we didn't know we were getting....

And I almost peed my pants when I saw our pocket door frames....


I know.  I get excited easily.  I can't help it!  Being cooped up in this apartment all winter has gotten to my brain.  There is a lot done that I don't have pictures of, but you don't need a picture to show you wiring and plumbing and duct work.  You probably aren't jumping up and down about it like I am.  The stress of things started hitting us over the weekend.  Dustin was working on a plan for the wiring, I was faced with the challenge of trying to get all of the lighting we need, while staying within our allowance.  We went searching for brick....again.  Dustin had another meeting with Jay the Builder today. 

Whew!  It is all coming at us very quickly, but it is just what we need.  We should have insulation by the end of the week and dry wall on the 23rd.  I just can't wait.  Seeing new progress everyday sure has done miraculous things for my mood.  Of course, the warm(er) weather doesn't hurt, either.  Stay tuned.....I'll try not to keep you waiting so long before the next update.
