Electrical Inspection PASSED!! Sheet Rock is going up!!


Karl and Marc working hard on ceiling sheet rock.


GT, Marc, Bob, and Karl again working on ceiling sheet rock. Makes it a lot easier with the lift.


Kenny doing an amazing job!!





Addison walking "through" the walls one last time before the wall sheet rock goes up!! She loves spending time at her "new house".


The look of progress!
Each day Phil make sure that the job is getting done, he is our "general contractor" and we don't know what we would do without him!! Then there is Karl's work team. They are great to work all day, nice and hard on our beautiful new house. Huge progress is happening right now...can't wait for the next step...mud and taping and then...painting!! Are you ready for butter rum and pesto walls??

More Pictures...2 posts are here...check them both out!!


Electrical work has been done and the electricians did an amazing job. Now to wire the lighting and then the inspector can come visit our house and give the okay to sheetrock!!



Christopher Construction did a great job of backfilling and getting our driveway finished. You can drive down our driveway faster than 2 miles an hour. Now you can pull into the garage too. It is really coming together!!


Ben on the bulldozer!


Backfilling around the house.


What a view!! Can't wait to be out there everyday this fall and waking up to this gorgeous view. Thanks Phil and Jeanne!!


The house from the back!! Left window is the living room, right is the patio door into the dining room and then the basement family room with walk out basement.

Enjoy the pictures! Thanks to all the individuals who have come to visit our house in progress. We love visitors! Call us to come see our new home! We have been told it is totally different in person than on the computer.

The House is coming Along!

Hello! Sorry that I haven't written in a month...what a crazy month it has been! There has been a lot that has happened over the past week and a half! Phil is working extra hard and we owe him a lot for working on our house when Chris is working in town...couldn't do it without him! Here has what has been going on...more pictures to come when I download from Chris' camera.



Kenny bringing up water...soon after this Christopher Construction had to finish the job. There were too many rocks and tree roots in the way. The water is hooked up and ready to be turned on when we are ready in the house.

The lovely facia and sofit colors that I picked out. We plan on having a darker brown siding... when we get to it.


Laundry room plumbing done by my fantastic brother in law and father in law...they worked really hard on plumbing when Chad was in town.

Addison looking with Daddy at the electrical work.
Picture below shows the outlets for the kitchen. What a mess to router out the styrofoam to put in outlets. Phil did all of the upstairs routering before the electricians installed the boxes and wires...what a guy!!
