Phase 2

We have made some serious progress on the house. At this point, the foundation has been finished, the floor boards have been put in place, and the walls are up (the studs, at least). Most of the exciting stuff happened while I was at school last week, and I was a bit of a nervous wreck worrying about if it was all going to come out right. I hated not being there to begin with, but we had to change a few things which made my anxiety even worse. Thank goodness Andy knows what he's doing, made the right choices, and just puts up with my insanity. He has been a real trooper communicating the important stuff. I got to walk through it for the first time on Thursday, and was extremely happy with how it all turned out! Here are the photos. Obviously it's difficult to capture depth and actual size, but you get the jist.

Front of the house:

 Just inside the front door. There is a coat closet to the left separating the entry from the living room, laundry room straight ahead, and office to the right, next to the bedrooms.

 Here are the two bedrooms separated by their closets. The farthest wall is the front of the house.

 Here is the dining room, which faces the back of the house. We are including a sliding door here in the hopes that we will have some sort of screened in porch/patio at some point down the road. Obviously, we have our hands full at the moment, but we are thinking ahead.

Here is the view from the mudroom door. Our mudroom connects the garage and the house. You walk in and the kitchen/dining room is to the right, pantry straight ahead (although the walls aren't there in this picture), and the living room is to the right. It's all open concept.

 This is our master bedroom. There is really no point to including this photo, but I thought I would just for good measure. It is in the back corner of the house, and a bathroom and walk-in closet are attached, but not in the photo.

We should have a roof on by the end of this week! So far on the Phase 2 to-do list: garage walls, concrete for garage and porch, windows, doors, and of course the roof.

My current project focus? Landscaping.
