Bringin down the HOUSE!

Can't remember the last picture of the house I put up...the stairs maybe?? Well, much has happened since... As of today...
1. Insulation happening RIGHT NOW
2. Fireplace installed (but they forgot a part so I didn't take a pic yet of it)
3. Almost half of the house has siding
4. Electrical/plumbing rough-in is done
5. Cabinets and tile decided on
6. Interior doors picked out
7. Appliances picked out, thank you Joe Thomas

What needs to happen soon...
1. Pick out carpet
2. Pick wall colors
3. Pick out counter tops
4. Decide tonight about lighting fixtures
5. Get fireplace done
6. Drywall starts either tomorrow or Monday

Ongoing things...
1. Boys!
2. small group, women's bible study (weekly), and a parenting class (every other week)
3. Make sure people keep getting paid on time.
4. Don't get screwed because I don't know anything.

Good luck to me!






watch the insulation men in action!! It's actually really old crushed up newspaper recycled (obviously) and mix it with a little water and it becomes sticky enough to just be blown into place and stay. Amazing! And then the another guy come around behind the blower and brushes off the extra, and then another guy comes thru and sucks up all the stuff on the floors to be reused, and then another guy sweeps off all the windows and spaces that shouldn't have that stuff on it, and then three or four more guys run around with not so obvious jobs. But the stuff is all light and super fluffy. Like gray snow falling. that's so nice. Anyhoo, I watched em for a long time and they probably thought I was very strange taking so many pictures of insulation. Hey, when it's cool, it's cool. hhahahaaaa.

Leave it to you to stay in the know so you don't get ripped off. :) That's my philosophy too. I think I've fooled a few car repair guys who thought I didn't know much. Love the house. Beautiful and big...perfect for a growing family. Love you and hope to see you again...someday!! --Meredith

Can't wait to see it! As for wall colors, etc. just trust your instincts-- you've always had a sensational artistic sense of style. Ryan chose well! :D
Love, Mom.
