It's Time To Rock!!

Sheetrock was here yesterday!!! The stockers showed up around 9 and unloaded the truck with a crane on the back. There was a TON of sheet rock. The whole truck plu a trailer behind it.

When they unloaded everything they did it by room layout. It was very interesting....

These are the first few pieces of sheet rock that they put up. It's so crazy to see a ceiling now. I'm so used to being able to look up through the rafters.
Bill has been doing AWESOME on the brick. He's working on the south side now. Just about a week and a half left to go. He loves it when I'm out there taking his picture! =)

Exhausted and excited for the short break!!

It's been a while since I've updated this thing. But I've been literally living at the new house. My dad & I have spent every day out there running the electrical and plumbing. Mom has helped out a lot too. Helping with the insulation and jet tub amongst other things. Drew and a few other guys helped us out with the HVAC. They knocked it out in a couple of days. Here are the supplies that they showed up with.
This weekend we finished up roughing in the plumbing. These are the manifolds with all of the hot and cold water lines.

My AWESOME sister in law Karen came down Saturday and Sunday to help with various odds and ends. She is always a lot of fun to be around. So glad that she had time to come help!!

Sheet rockers are coming tomorrow. I had to hang a sign for them to point out where my built in ironing board is going.

We also put some plywood up in the attic for Craig to walk on when he sparys insulation in a couple of weeks. He will be glad that it's up there.

Bar is all plumbed in and ready for drywall!!

All of the tubs and showers were set this weekend too. Karen covered them with cardboard before the finishers come.

I'll have lots of pictures this week. I'm taking the week off because the sheetrockers and finishers will be working.

A Week's Review...House and OU Game!!!

It's been a productive week or so. Last Friday Craig and I left on our anniversary trip to go to the OU vs. Texas (red River Rivalry) game in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl Stadium. It was an awesome trip! Definately wroth a repeat. The morning of the day that we were leaving we went out to help roof the house. We decided to put a metal roof on instead of shingles.
Here is us in our hotel room the morning of the big game. Craig was not up for pictures, but he took them anyway. We were pretty excited to get to the Teas State Fair and check out the stadium. Okay....I was pretty excited about getting into all of the different food stands too.

Our seats were pretty decent. During warm up we were able to go down to the field and take pictures. There were only about 10 or so of us that took pictures.

There's the giant screen!!!

Now it's back to work at the house. On Monday I started hanging the elctrical boxes for all of the outlets, switches and phone jacks.

Then the boys started pulling wire downstairs while they wanted on a metal delivery to finish the roof. Thanks for all of your help Mr. Simon!!!

And of course you too Dad! I didn't get any pictures of Josh though. Or maybe be just deleted them from my camera....

Bill Hamilton was able to start bricking on Thursday. I'm really happy with the color and design of brick that we went with. It's so exciting to see it go up.

Quick Update

A lot was accomplished lst week. Sorry that it has taken me so long to post these pictures. Here is our front door. It still needs to be stained...but it's here!!
Got the basement finished framing! All walls are now furred out.

Brock and Derek finished up this week by Tyveking the house and a few odds and ins.

This week I've started putting up the blue electrical boxes and plan to pull wire today. The metal roof should be finished tomorrow also. I'll post pictures as soon as I can. OH...and pictures of the mini vacation that Craig and I took last weekend.

A long weekend.....

I had a goal. An easy goal I though. But then again everything "sounds easy". My goal for this weekend was to connect the electric, well and septic to the house. Not a big deal right? I didn't account for the fact that it was Fall Fest weekend, the possibility that it would storm and the amount of work that was involved. Before the fun began, Brock was able to get our stairs built. Swas very happy.

My brother in law Trent was kind enough to come out and run the excavator that we used to dig the holes for the electric, septic and well lines. He's not a fan of using a shovel, but liked running the control for the bucket on this machine. =)

We were very fortunate to have my dad here this weekend to help out. The electric lines and well went pretty quick and easy. But the septic took FOREVER!! The phone company didn't come out to flag the phone lines, so we spent almost 3 hours digging with shovels to try and find it. No fun.

They delivered the first part of our brick today! Bill should start next week. We meet with him in a couple of days to make some final decisions.

Tomorrow windows, doors and house wrap are the plan. I should get lots of pictures of that!

Almost finished with framing!

It's been a crazy week with the house. Brock was able to finish sheeting the roof on Tuesday. We also measured for roofing materials and got those ordered.
These are the stairs in the garage leading into my laundry room. Sadie is so excited to climb up and down them.

This is the laundry room. It's huge!!! I'm so excited to have all of the room and storage.

I tried to take a picture of the master bath for inside the bedroom.

This is the dining area/kitchen area.

Yesterday they were able to drill our well. I'm glad to have that done and out of the way. This weekend Craig plans on hooking it up to the house. Along with the electrical and septic.

Here is Sadie standing in the framed fireplace. They are coming out to install it in a couple of weeks.
