House pictures
I thought I would add another update of our house since it seems to be moving along pretty well. At least I think it is moving along, Jake seems to think it is going way too slowly but I think that is because he is doing the majority of the work. Unfortunately Ethan has decided that he now likes to sleep in until 8 or 9 -which is definitely not a bad thing- but that means he doesn’t nap until 2 or 3 which is when Jake gets home and could use the help on the house. I’ve debated waking Ethan up early, but then he is so ornery all day that I don’t get anything done (work, housecleaning, etc). Oh well, I’m sure we will be done way before July 24th and that is when the construction loan expires so I guess we’re okay. Here are the most recent pictures I have taken of the house. These were all taken on Saturday when Jake’s dad was down here helping us.
This is our main level furnace. Jake started it up a few days ago and said it seemed to be working fine but we’ll have to see once we get everything closed in.
This is what was supposed to be the formal dining area, but really, how many people actually use their formal dining area? We are going to use it as the computer room/piano room/whatever. It has been completely sheetrocked but not taped/mudded.
This is Ethan’s room and he seems to be very excited about it. He loves to go in and sit in his little blue chair (sometimes in the closet). If you ask him which is his room he will usually run in there, start jumping up and down, dancing, and generally being a nut. He also likes to tell me where he is going to put his bed and what will be in his closet.
I figured I would add a couple of pictures of the the two people who have put the most time into building the house -besides me and Ethan of course ;). So here is one of Jake working on sheetrocking the hallway, and one of his dad taping the master closet. Both jobs are very dirty and tedious but they are both smiling so it can’t be all bad, right?
