Getting Close















As of yesterday, the house is painted. The hardwood floors are in and are waiting for a water-base stain/seal. The color of them is pretty accurate though. Eric really wanted light floors and he got them! I think they look beautiful. Drywall, texturing and rounded corners are done. To our amazement, every other material for our house was in the garage minus the slabs of granite. Getting close, for sure!
ps..According to Eric, something is still happening to the roof above the living room window~so, no, it will not look like that when all is said and done!

Siding Is Finished





The siding is on and by next week the house should be painted. It's in the drywall construction phase now. Eric and I had our first walk through inspection and were really impressed with the "green" building. The blown in insulation is all recycled paper, the wood is recycled pieces of lumber that are pieced together, cutting down on deforestation. Of course there were a handful of other things that make the house green built but those were my two favorite. It's already passed its first energy star inspection.
