Time Flies!!!

Hi all....long time, no blog!!!

I can't believe it's the end of June already!! Time sure flies! We have a lot of stuff that has happened at the house so hopefully I can remember it all!

We've had plenty of visitors to our place...our good friends Larry and Patty, Krisanna, Mitzi, Aunt Jen and Uncle Jerm with Mady & Logan came to see it!

So the siding is officially done as of last week...the last bit of shake was put up top, and the guys have worked on caulking, building up the posts that are on the back patio as well as the one on the front porch.

The sidewalk was poured! So nice, with a flaired end up to the driveway! Good job Flatline!

We just got done with the interior paint! Our friend Larry has his own painting business and has nice equipment to make painting easier! Those fancy spraying machines!! He helped Tom starting last weekend with a full day on Saturday the 20th and then again the next Thurs. and this past Friday! It is done other than a bit of touch up work!

We had quite the time trying to figure out paint colors, but thankfully Grandma Forrest came up for a few days in a row to help us think it all out! She is the Master Interior Designer! She knows her stuff and has great taste as well..it's the taste I love! So it's been a blessing to have her help us! Thanks G'Ma Forrest for all your help!! I haven't even seen it yet! Tom went today to take off the plastic from the windows so he could see it in the light and it is quite dark he said. We picked Barnwood which is a sort of brown...and a green color for a few rooms, and a yellow color called Hubbard Squash for the extra bathroom and the laundry room!

Now comes tile choice! Wow...what a chore. Costco is currently carrying some great floor tile for way cheap and it looks great too! We are getting it!! Costco is a great place to get stuff if it fits the theme of the house!

Bye for now...it's way past my bedtime!

Latest updates!

Hi all!!

It's a very windy day today and the guys: Richard, Ryan, and Tom are out beginning to side the house today! Wow!

The sheetrock has been put up and the tape and texturing is complete as well!!

I've been trying to upload pictures to my Picasa program and I'm not able to upload what I want so I have to try to be a techy and figure out what to do! Bummer!

Now we get to start picking out colors for painting the inside and outside! Fun!

It looks so different now!

Oh yeah...the back patio has been poured! It looks great and it's so neat to stand on it and look at the back yard!

It's coming along! We'll see how long it takes to side the house! The garage doors should be in on Friday and installed on Monday!

Well no pictures to post but will put some up soon hopefully!

Take care all!
