I think it is time for a little update! Progress was mighty slow for a few weeks. The mechanical guys have been soooo slow. The brick guys aren't much faster. This is about all they have to show for two weeks of work. But- we love the brick. We think its a great color.
The sheetrock-ers on the other hand have been cruising. They got the main floor and above the garage all done in one week. This is a view from the back windows in the great room- looking up to the front of the house. Seth is standing in front of the fireplace. The two openings on either side are for sliding doors between the Great room and Living room.
This is looking from the kitchen into the dinning room.
This is standing in the Great room looking towards the kitchen.
A peek at the Master Bath.
This isn't a great shot- but its the floor of the Family room in the basement. I think it looks really cool. It is a diamond cut pattern in the cement that has been stained. It has a really cool mottled look- like real stone. The cement has radiant heating. It will be warm and toasty and the kids can't mess it up by tracking in dirt. Bonus!
"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."
