House Progress

This post could also be called "Crooked Photos by Tina" apparently I forgot to pay attention while taking these pictures.

 From the outside it doesn't look like anything's happened with our house, but looks can be deceiving! 

Two weeks ago we met with our electrician and did an initial walk-through. That next week the HVAC and electricians were on site. Last Friday, we spent the morning with our kitchen cabinet maker and made final design decisions on our cabinetry. That took quite a while, with some serious thinking, imaging and measuring, but in the end I think we came up with great solutions and a kitchen we'll love.

 This past week the HVAC crew and plumber were on site.
We also got a tiny bit of rain, the first rain to fall on/blow in the windows of this house. That says something about how dry it's been around here....

 This is the part of the house building process that I was told would go slow, and it is. But I don't feel impatient about it. It's enough for me to know that we're moving forward.

 Today Ben and I met with our window/door guy at the lumber yard to go over exterior doors. There are a lot of options with doors. We left with three books and two sets of samples. We also got to see our new windows! They're in Hesston and will come out to the house next week!

After that we went and looked at appliances and got our heads and eyes filled with information, options and dollar signs. Sigh..... Thankfully, we don't need to make purchases anytime soon. We have time to think and shop and save our pennies.
So while the outside is still sporting the fancy Dupont plastic wrap - including that sharp turquoise roof - lots of other good stuff has been happening inside!
