Siding on the house

Yay the front entry has been fixed...finally! 

They started with the siding this last week. It looks so nice....like a real house (I think I say that every time something happens :)). I love that we were able to do the detailed trim on all of the windows around the entire house. Originally when we got our siding bid it seemed as though we wouldn't even frame the windows on the sides of the house because it's more expensive and a lot of times they just don't do it because you don't really see it) But I love it...so chunky and detailed. :) 

You should see the scaffolding they stand on....scary...glad it's not my job! 

They finished all of the pick of framing in the house.... so we will begin sheet rocking soon. 

This is a picture of the box beams in the dining room....love them. :)

They have been finishing up all of the heating...here are some of the vents going through the wall. The heater is in the lower floor so it comes up through the walls to get to the top floor. The orange pipes are for the sprinklers. 

This is downstairs next to the heater room...wow! They had to frame all of this in so the ceiling will be lower....glad we have this downstairs so this isn't on our main floor. 

The heater. 

Who's in charge of all these controls? Yikes...I think Richie knows what they are for. :)

And the lower floor deck. This is going to be so neat. HUGE!  We don't have a huge yard but we have a lot of deck. The babies will ride their bikes on our deck. :)

Lots of deck...lots of windows. :)

The tub in the kids bath. Testing for leaks. 

Love this open area....can wait to see it with sheet rock. 

And that's it for now. Things are all starting to happen so quickly. I ordered my pot filler and water purifier faucet :) yeeeh. Starting to think about lighting and just making sure we keep everything straight and on track (and Richie is worrying about me and the budget of course).
