.....and we have drywall!

and siding!

The house building in coming along well! We've been checking out the progress daily, as well as taking pictures, but there hasn't been much excitement. Just HVAC, plumbing, electric, etc. However, now that that is out of the way, and we passed all our inspections, it's time to get to some real progress again.

The siding around the sides and back was finished this week. Also, notice the window on the side of the house.....funny story...that window is not in our plans. I saw it on one form as an optional extra, but we never considered it (thinking it would look out onto the neighbor's porch). It wasn't even offered to us at the Dec Center. Later, after framing when the windows were installed, there was an extra window hanging around. It disappeared shortly thereafter and I never considered where it went. Obviously, I have been busy (and preoccupied) because I never noticed it went into the wall! I just realized it yesterday. Looking back on pictures, I saw it was put in between May 3rd and 5th. Go figure! It's great, though! I can look out (over the neighbor's porch) and be able to keep track of the kids if they're playing in the cul-de-sac.
