We have a driveway!

I feel like I am constantly trying to come up with something new to say about our house.... I wonder if my posts about our house is boring for everyone and if you all just skip right past all the boring text and go right for the pictures. That's OK if you do, I really don't care.

Jeff and Cooper standing on the newly poured driveway.

We have had the steps for a few weeks now, but the walkway leading up to the stairs was just added. The big white spot on the side of the garage is where a piece of siding is missing. I don't really know why it is missing, maybe the piece that was meant to go there got broken, or maybe was the wrong size. I am thinking that Viking Construction may have had to order a new piece.

We are not really sure what is on the floor here, but all the texture and priming has been done, and is now ready for the paint. The floors were all cleaned up after the mud, taping, and sanding was completed. (It was a BIG mess, with lots of mud dried to the floor) In front of the door another layer of sub-flooring was laid down where the vinyl will be put down on top of that sub-floor. In addition to in front of the door, another layer of sub-floor was also laid throughout the kitchen, eating nook, half bath, and pantry; as well as the storage room where the furnace and hot water tank are, the laundry room, and both the main bathroom and master bath room upstairs. Why was another layer put down? Well, we assume that it is so the carpet and vinyl floor will be flush with each other.

Kitchen cabinets have arrived!


As well as the interior doors!

And the trim!

Finally our very small back patio, if you can call it a patio, was also poured this week. We plan to add on to the patio when we landscape the back yard once we move in.


Two months until closing! Hurray!

OOLALA! I love the new layout! I'm glad you got it to work. I can never decide on which one I like best, so I am always switching it. Don't worry, I don't mute your country music. I can tolerate for the time I look at your blog :)
