Coming Soon!

Over the past few weeks, Matt and Dad, and Uncle Jerold have been working tremendously hard on our house! They've taken off the old Air Conditioner unit from the roof and replaced it with a new one! (This process has allowed me to get awesome photos of the three of them on our roof!) Also, they have hooked up the washer and dryer in our house, on top of the subfloor- and now we can do laundry at our house! I am excited to show you all these photos that I have of these processes, but unfortuantly, I will have to log onto here again later to post them. Our house is coming along! :)

Sliding Glass Door and Window placed in Dining Room!

After careful consideration of where the traffic flow of the people walking around in the Dining Room would be, we opted for a Sliding Glass Door on the side of the Dining Room, and chose to close off the back door with a wall. We considered having two outside doors in the same room (like how the house was originally designed when we bought it) but we decided to close in one of the doors (the back door) and place a laundry room and linen closet in that space. And the side door now is a beautiful sliding glass door that will open to a small deck outside, with one stair step down to ground level outside.



This was the open space in the dining room from the old big huge window. Also to the far right of this picture is the old side door. Matt is working on the threshold for the Sliding Glass Door to be placed in the big space where that big window was.




This is the view of the Sliding Glass door from the inside of the Dining Room. :)


This is the outside of the house, and Matt and Dad framed in the old door space.

And now... for the other outside wall of the Dining Room...

We opted for a smaller window to close in the space. I believe it was 5feetX3feet. (I will get back to you guys on that because I am not sure.) I really like how the wall turned out.






Both Matt and Dad worked on this wall and closed in the old back door. It looks great now. And soon... you will see the beginnings of a closet space where that old back door was. :)

Dining Room!

This is the Dining Room. Matt and Dad put in the entire subfloor in, and after that they worked on the fireplace and the laundry outlets. (We will have a laundry closet where Dad was working on the laundry hot and cold pipes.)



This is what the old fireplace looked like.


Taking out that iron fireplace was a HEAVY job!



Dad working on the hot and cold pipes for the washer and dryer.











Mocha and Matt were "moral support" for Dad when he was working on our hot and cold pipes for the washer and dryer. :) Everyone needs a loyal lab to help them with their work! :)

Progress! Progress! Progress!

I have been unable to blog lately, due to a life that is extremely busy with everything that we've got going on. I feel horrible that I haven't been able to show you all the progress of our house, as the guys are continuously working on the house and their work deserves recognition! Plus, it is AMAZING how far along they are coming on the house! A big thank you goes to everyone that is and has been helping out!!!! :)
