Playing Catch-Up..... i know, i know... .it's been forever!

*(Christmas Day fun!) Matt went to go check on the house b/c of the rain/snow melting and found water pouring in to the basement b/c the septic tank stuff wasn't all hooked up and settled correctly yet! Didn't last too long.... just in time to go home, shower and make it to christmas lunch.

NICOR IS IN!!!

Electric is all done!

HVAC is all roughed in!

Kyle & Lydia came to visit

They got a ride in the shopping cart that the plumbers left for us!

Trim up and around the garage door really makes it look better!!!

Insulation is IN!

Well, most of it, we are still putting a little bit up around the ceilings.

ALMOST ready for drywall!! =) YEAH!

garage (now actually it has a door on it!)

Our Front Porch

Concrete Basement

Basement Stairs

Siding done on 2/3rd's of the house!

Our Sunset! =)

It's been a long time.....

Photo Update:

We have a roof

the windows and shingles are on!

the front door is stained!

we have power hooked up!

tubing is in the concrete floor of the basement for radiant heating!

just thought this was a fun shot!

all the wires have to start and finish at the same point... good thing matt is good with figuring that all out.... it worked out GREAT!!

We are a little farther than this point...
I just haven't gone over to the house to take more photos of what is new. We now have the concrete floor poured, we have stairs going to the basement in both spots. Matt has put in some electrical stuff.... can lights, outlet boxes, and have even started running some conduit!

Talking about Matt.... I am so proud of him for all the hard work he has done so far and all that he will be doing in the next couple of months!!!

Something different than house stuff!

Well, here is something a little different than house stuff! (i promise to actual update on other things in our lives sometime, but right now, i'm kinda ready to go to bed, so i'll just post these photos!)

I have FINALLY finished our WEDDING ALBUM.... can you believe it?
Here is the the final product! (i think.. as long as matt approves it!)

Framing Continues...

(I am so excited for the sunsets i will get to see through my big windows!)

Sorry it's only been photos lately... sometime soon i'll actually sit down and write a little bit about what else is going on in our lives!
