The wood floors have been stained! They applied the stain last night and the color will darken after the polyurethane is applied to the floor.

The siding is now complete on the house and even the garage now too!

The wood floor is going in today along with preparation for the tile floors. We used the reclaimed wood from the house and they are also working some new wood into the floor as we migh be a little short on the amount of reclaimed wood we had been able to use. Stain color will be picked soon and the floors will be finished shortly thereafter.

Half of the house now has siding on it and you can see the shakes that we are putting into the roof section of the house to give some dimension. Paint colors will be decided next!

Siding is getting put up on the house now! The color you see in the photo is not the final color, that's just the factory finish of the product. We will paint it once the weather improves.

Picking the house color is going to be tough. There's a lot of options and we also want to find out what color the house behind us is going to be painted so they won't look the same.

The wood floor has been brought in from the garage so it can have a few days to acclimate to the interior temperature and humidity.

Final sanding of the walls is going to be finished today and a coat of primer paint will be put up on the walls. Siding is also going up on the outside today!

Sheetrock is getting its finishing touches and the house is getting prepared for flooring which should start to go in next week.

All of our tile is picked out and the hardwood will be brought into the house to let it acclimate to the normal environment of an indoor heated home.

Sheetrock is going in and the place is feeling like a real house now!

The smaller rooms feel bigger now that the Sheetrock is in but the master bedroom feels a little smaller due to one of thee walls not having any windows on it. The next few weeks will be a fast sprint to the finish!

The spray foam insulation has now been installed in the house and is being prepped for drywall installation. The sprayers they used were made by www.graco.com for those who care about those things.

We were able to get more hardwood for the first floor so we should have enough to do the entire first floor.

The cedar deck is now on the house!

Our house now has shingles on it! After 9 inches of snow Tuesday, the roofing team put the shingles on! We went with an architechural roofing shingle to give some dimension to the roof.

The fireplace has also been installed and a lot of duct work. Wiring appears to be done and spray foam insulation should be going in shortly after inspection.

There's also a bunch of television and Internet cable strung down to the basement for getting hooked into the fiber optic Internet line that I hope to have installed soon after we move in.
