Construction Day #32

More progress! On Day #32, the house is pretty much a shell...framed and ready for all of the "insides" to be installed. This part will take forever and there won't be much to take pictures of. I can't complain... we saw our entire house go up within just a few weeks. Impatient? Yes. Just a tad...

Day #33, which I don't have a picture of yet, the builders put on the tar tape, which goes on the roof prior to putting on the shingles.

Soo...without further a-do, here are some pictures! Bobby and I got to walk around on Friday afternoon to see what everything looks like. We were able to really visualize each room since the walls were there. I stood in my front door hole juuusssttt to see what it'll be like to wave good-bye to people after they come to visit us! Anxious? Yes. Just a little.

Our future Kitchen! The island is in the middle there (duh) and we'll have cabinets going all along the far right side wall. The bright light is the hallway to the front door.

Our kitchen looking the opposite way. I am standing in the hallway looking towards the back of the house. To the left is the kitchen and to the right will be our "great room." Back door opens up to the back yard and some woods. There will eventually be a deck out there for Bobby to grill all sorts of wonderful concoctions!

Our basement... to the left (which is not pictured) is another large space that will eventually be an office/spare bedroom. Straight ahead is the bathroom rough-in. The basement is coming unfinished.
