Construction ~ Week 13

We made some  progress on the house last week.  We finally have outside steps.


Once the yard is graded you'll only see brick.


The porch ceiling was also completed.



We broke the baby news to Mr. Clint last Monday, so we're hoping things will roll right along.  Ned asked if we'd be in by March, and he said yes.  Ned doesn't know you set a goal much earlier than that to allow for plenty of wiggle room.  Soon Clint will know my goal of January.  He basically told us to get our cabinets and flooring orders straight so our pricing is right and so we know what we want when the time comes.  It gets a little overwhelming planning several trips to various places while arranging for someone to watch Avery.  It's all got to be done and I know I'll feel better when  few things are checked off the list.

These pictures were all taken tonight because the weather was so yucky over the weekend.  I saw proof of several different people working today with some exciting results.  And, I was rewarded with another book to make decisions and battle the budget from.  I was able to go to the house alone tonight and found myself just standing and checking out how the light comes in, feeling the breeze (because no one believes in closing doors and windows), and listening to the crickets.  All I needed was a rocking chair and a strawberry limeade!
