Siding, drywall and front steps

WOW!!! This week there has been some really big changes in the construction of our house. We now have the siding completed on the front and north side of the house, and the south side is close to one third finished, the front steps are in, the drywall is up, and it was being mudded and taped when we went by to take a look at the progress being made. (Literally, the workers were there on their stilts and all, so I didn't get any pictures of the main floor because I didn't want to get in their way).

It was really hard to pick out colors for our house because the samples that we had to look at and choose from, where no bigger than 2" X 2". Literally. So looking at the colors of siding on those tiny samples, it was hard to picture those colors together on a much grander scale. I was a bit nervous that the colors we chose were going to be too dark, but now that the siding is up I am very happy with our choice. I just kept looking at the front of the house in amazement, not only because the colors turned out just how I wanted but also because I know that from here on out the changes that will happen will be big and the house on the inside will now begin to take shape.

Well, we now have just under eleven weeks left until we are due to close on the house. Not that I am counting or anything. EXCITING!!!
