After looking for a house for two years, we finally stumbled upon this piece of land and a contractor who wanted to build
for us. So, we took the leap! And what a leap it was...
| BEFORE |
|
| We've got almost 2 acres here and we're up high. |
| AFTER |
|
| well, almost done anyway... |
Now, if you want the nitty-gritty, here are all the details in-between the before and after.
| Breaking Ground!! |
|
| Very exciting day - it all starts here. |
| Basement is in! |
|
| Love this picture - shows our view! |
| First Floor is in! |
|
| Still waiting for the garage |
| Second Floor Appears |
|
| This taken from the back/side yard. |
| That's me in the window. |
|
| The windows are almost TOO big, if that's possible. |
| Up goes the siding. |
|
| And yes, I chose the blue - and love it! |
| Finally Done! |
|
| Accent window finally painted, grass planted, driveway in. |
| Sugar & Spice in the same cage! A First!! |
|
| Sugar bullied herself in... this would've never happened before THE MOVE! |
| The Kitchen - yup, it's blue too! |
|
| The stools will have to go, I redid them and they're awful. But useful, for now. |
| Great Room off kitchen |
|
| Still unpackingat this point... |
| Our first big purchase - a leather couch for Josh |
|
| This is in the great room and will accent our Singing Butler picture over the fireplace. |
A Personal Note: I have a few more pictures of the inside, but my camera, or the website
is not cooperating... As I go along and decorate I will take pictures and update this site. I was shocked to see that
I hadn't done any updates at all since MARCH of 2004! Wow, talk about being tied up - building a house is time-consuming,
that is for sure. And people always talk about how stressful it is. They are right.
