The end is in sight!

We are sooooooooooooooo close to finishing the house! We are in "crunch time" where every minute on the weekends and after work are crucial! Heath is out at the house with his father as I update this blog! Kitchen countertops and bathroom countertops are coming tomorrow and the appliances are to be delivered on Saturday! I am giddy! We now have heat and power so we can work later in the night and stay warm...taking full advantage of it! The house looks so cozy at night...can't wait for you to see. Side note: Heath's finger is on the mend. There is a lovely scab but he no longer has to "nurse" it. Still thankful it was not worse.

My sweet brother was up again this weekend helping out. Thomas, Heath, Steve and Shannon (carpenter) built the back stairs that lead off the back porch into the back yard. They are huge and will be awesome for flower pots and such! Last weekend Heath trimmed out the back porch columns with the rough lumber that is the same as the siding. They look amazing!

Here are some recent pictures-enjoy!

 

 

Steve pretending the porch is the Lincoln Memorial and he's Lincoln! HA!

 



Hard to tell, but there is a beautiful stain on the front door! It looks amazing!

My sister gave Heath pine cone fan pulls...perfect fit since the house is surrounded by pine trees!

 

Hearth on the back porch fireplace! Heath is the mastermind behind the plan (of course)! He created the mold to pour the concrete into, let it set, and the other night we took off the mold and TADA...behold...a massive hearth for your bootys and storage under for firewoo. It is super cool and Heath is very proud, as he should be!

 

 

 

Think that's all for now! I will update again soon! Send prayers to help us through this last leg of the adventure...it's been a whirlwind but such a cool experience!

 

Love, Caroline
