Hello all....

I suppose we can count on me blogging about every few weeks....lol!
I won't condemn myself too much, there just hasn't been much activity out there and I'm always very busy! I also go on computer strikes quite often, to where I just dont want to put up with the busy-ness of being on the computer and spending time posting, emailing, etc.!! Sorry everyone!! I usually will make it out of those frumpy moments and I'll get in some correspondence with my neat friends! Again....sorry!
Today Mel went out there to see the insulation...as it was put in yesterday and finished up today!
Richard was out there today doing some nice work on the rock we've got out there!! He's making it so we can make good use out of what's already out there so we can order less when it comes time to landscape! It looks good already and he's not done yet!
Sheetrock gets hung starting on Thursday!! WOW!! That will be a huge change!
Electrical rough in is completely done! I will have pics of the electrical stuff up tonight!!
Tom was out there this past weekend on Saturday with Richard to finish up little tidbits of things. Tom finished the roof and returned materials to Home Depot!
Richard did odds and ends framing fix ups...he changed the door framing for us, since we FINALLY picked a door system. It's simple but what I had wanted from the beginning and it just took a while to get there!
We picked a simple two panel fiberglass door with the top panel having an arch and we will have rainglass windows from Millgard installed into the two sidelite panels that are full 6 ft. panels. I'm excited to have the rainglass for privacy purposes. It's real popular to have the open window sidelites, but it just bugs me that people could look into your house at any moment. If I want to walk around in undies or something...I don't want to feel like I can't because of the darn open windows on the side of my door! TMI...sorry! But just trying to get my logic across!!
I went in today to order our garage doors, and it was easy!! I was so proud to have made a quick decision on that one!! It's easy to figure out what you like if you drive around the different neighborhoods to see what's out there and what you like and dislike!! It's a great way to figure things out!
Now with the cabinets that a different story....I was wishing it was the parade of homes time around here so I can just look at different cabinet layouts! I'm dragging my feet at figuring out what I want! We are closer...I met with him two weeks ago and expected to order cabinets by last week but we didn't! So hopefully we'll get on that! It took way too long to pick out the doors and I don't want to do that with the cabinets, since they take awhile to get here! Mike at M.L. Cabinets is who we are working with he is doing a great job coming up with something we will like! I'm just so excited to have my bench seat in the laundry/utility room!!
I found a great deal at a yard sale for some pendant lights. They were $15 a piece brand new! We need 3 pendants and they can be pretty spendy I hear! Haven't even looked yet!
So we are not sure if they will tie in with what we are doing with the cabinets, arched doorways, etc...we'll see! I'll just sell 'em on craigslist if I need to!
Okee dokee...got to go to bed and need to upload some electrical pics!!
Good night all!
