Self-Control: I Have None :)

"I won't visit the house today. I won't visit the house today. I won't visit the house today. I WON'T VISIT THE HOUSE TODAY!!" I spent the entire day telling myself this. I had every intention on waiting until Saturday or Sunday to visit. My husband is a bad influence!  He came home from work today and says he wants to go to the house! AAAAHHHH! He claims that I'm the only crazy obsessed one! I think he just does a better job of hiding it :) He's the one who didn't want to skip a day going out there and today wasn't the first time! Sure, I may be the one obsessing over all the furniture, paint colors, layouts, appliances, and everything else pertaining to the house. I don't currently have a job so I have nothing better to do! It's good to know that I'm not the only one who likes to visit daily! Of course I didn't put up much of a fight and we made the drive out there :)

Mother Nature must hate me because it rained this morning. The good thing is it stopped raining around 10:30am and the framers got back to work! They started on the roof today. I'm excited that they added the triangle that goes on the front of the house, above the door. You can see it in the first picture.


My triangle up close!

The garage has a roof!
Back of the house. They also added the decking? to the top of the morning room. Is that what it's called or are those trusses?!? I can never remember.....

They framed out the fire place! One less hole for children to throw rocks through!

They pulled out the shower and garden tub in the master bath to add some insulation.

Our walk-in closets have a roof! It's slanted but it's still tall enough for my 6'2'' husband to stand up straight in there!

I forgot to mention this little piece of good news in my blog yesterday! Last week I noticed that there were trees lining the street that weren't there before. I was wondering if the homeowners were planting them because they weren't in front of every house. I asked our PM and he said that RH is the one planting them! This makes me happy! After we get our sod, we will get our very own trees! I thought we were going to have to pay to get them ourselves! Here's a picture below!



I'm hoping for good weather this weekend. The framers are supposed to work through the weekend and finish up. Hopefully they can get the windows in too! I'm super excited to see the house with windows and (unlocked) doors! Those might have to wait until Monday though. The important thing is that they finish the roof!

  3. Nice triangle shots! :-) The roof is moving along too. I call them rafters but then I think the technical term is trussed rafters especially the ones above the main house.

  4. Look at you-full steam ahead! It's looking awesome-I was SO excited for my triangles, too. :) How awesome to get trees-we get nada in the department of landscaping, which is a bummer. Your house is looking great, thanks for the great read.

    1. They didn't tell us we were getting trees. It was a nice surprise! Our neighborhood has been there for a long time and they just recently sold it out. Maybe you will get some when they sell out your neighborhood!

    1. We love our lot too. We originally wanted a walk-out basement but they didn't have any lots left that would allow it. We are happy now that our lot is flat. It will be much easier to mow and a lot more functional!

  8. By the way, that window is a temp window. We have a couple because our real windows broke. They will replace them for you.
