One Week Closer--Detail Work

Most important things first: Seth is getting cuter every day.

"If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it"...Ellie loves primary (nursery) and loves doing the motions for the songs.

It's coming along fast now. They say one more good week and it will be about there. Carpet and finishing fixtures, grout in tiles, etc will come this week.

Had to take a picture of my LP gas tank fill valve--the tank is under the ground. Gas is used for the cooktop and the tankless water heaters.

Our football/sports/picnic field is about ready for seeding.

So now there's a cooktop in the island, dishwasher was still in a box.

The master bath was just about done; ready for grouting.

The hardwood floors are in the dining and entry way. The pillars too.

These are my sweet gas tankless water heaters. They better work as advertised. The idea is a never ending supply of hot water for less money. We'll see.

The railing is ready for sanding and staining; they'll be the color of the hardwood floors.

The dining room / entry.

The gas cooktop is in place. Very cool.

Fireplace and mantle is in.

More fill dirt and some good topsoil. They should seed it next week.

Looking almost there. The day after these pictures were taken, they were doing more trim painting inside and out.

The end of a hot August!

We're Getting Closer!

It starting to feel like home everytime we visit. Maybe 15 Sep, we're hoping.
We're glad that allot of the trees were preserved; though there's lots of cleanup to be done.


I don't know why I'm so excited about having a well and our own water, just am.



By the time we come back the ceramic tiles will be down in the kitchen. So cool!

Crown mouldings are in place.

Tile work is started in the bathroom.

I thought septic systems were so simple, apparently not so much anymore. It goes into one tank, flows into a second, then is pumped uphill to our septic field, which I thought was cool as well.

The builder says they have people stop and ask about the house. They think it is the color; not a color that is seen a lot yet. The builder has used it on some of their bigger homes.

The septic drain fields--this times five.

I seem to have a natural affinity towards sanitation. This is my kingdom.

So, on the right it flows up from the pump station, then over to the distribution box, then out to the five drain fields with the perforated pipe and the gravel beds. Amazing, right?
