The Eye is the Window to the Home?

Ok, that title was really lame. I'll be the first to admit that.


You've probably been wondering, why haven't there been any posts lately? I haven't posted in a while, not because I'm too busy with school, but because there really hasn't been much to take pictures of and update.  A lot of what has been going on the past few weeks was putting in air ducts and starting to do the wiring.


That all changed this week.  We had windows delivered, meaning that you can actually SEE a change in the house.  The other thing I should have updated on but didn't have pictures for *cough cough, parents* was the new roof.  The new roof shingles are on the new construction.  You'll be able to see it in some of the pictures.  The old roofing has not been torn off yet, meaning the new roofing has not been extended to the whole house yet.  


Here are the new pics:

The framing for Brian's closet.

The new window in my room.  Brian has the same window in his room.

The landing at the top of the stairs.  To the right is the hallway to my room.  To the left is the alcove and doorway into Brian's room.

The two new windows in the hallway from the garage to the kitchen.  They have built in blinds. Pretty fancy!

Mom checking out the plan for the soon-to-be kitchen island.

Another new window in the back room.  The GIANT sliding doors aren't even in yet, and the room is already so much brighter.

Windows overlooking the backyard.  

The doors to the backyard.  I think they're something like 8 feet tall.  Really big.  We'll put it this way, you know it's a big, heavy door when it comes in a wood frame with handles on the sides to make it easier to carry.

Since the kitchen is against the wall that used to be the outer wall of the house, they had to add framing in order to attach the cabinets.  Just a little important. 

The happy home-owners enjoying the new basement. 

The second floor.  The big box thing over the stairs the furnace.  It's nice because it didn't have to take up space in anybody's room, and surprisingly it isn't noticeable when you're walking up the stairs.

From the front room, through the dining room, into the back room with the new windows!

The hallway from the garage to the kitchen as seen from the outside.  Hopefully for those of you who have been to the house before, you can get a better understanding of it from the angle.  The black part of the wall and the white wall on the far right are the ends of the garage.

The windows in the back room.  The big wood square on the side is where the sliding doors will be.  

I think that's all the excitement for now.  It rained a lot this weekend so I know the workers finally got a day off Saturday, and I'm not positive if they were working today.


At this point it is going to keep going at this pace of really fast then really slow.  I love the really fast parts because then I get to show all of you the updated pictures.
