OMG

Where to begin ... so much going on ... so much money being spent ... so much happiness with Jim and I ... so much excitement and planning ........

Updates:

The house is roofed, exterior doors and windows are in, garage doors are in, and everything is locked.

Our construction loan is closing on Thursday, and THANK GOD because we have been spending money like it's freakin crazy. I am officially broke. Until Thursday :)

We have recently selected kitchen cabinet hardware, where the lights and switches are going, and where the shower faucets will be located (2 people can comfortably take a shower in the master bath - just saying).

Next is the installation of rough plumbing and then electric and then insulation and then drywall.

We are excited!

Our garage doors are more beautiful than we could haver imagined. THANK YOU, Sunrise Doors in Gasport! They are super nice people and their doors are excellent quality.

Finally, we have had multiple crews on site these past weeks, and by far the best crew so far is Larry Parlier's ... hardest working, most skilled, most likely to pick up after themselves, most likely to make me laugh!! The framing is now finished (on time) and we miss those guys already.

Here are a few exterior pics - we love the red windows and most of the feedback has been positive (although one of the roofers made it clear that he was not so sure about red windows. Whatever, roofer-man) :

Larry Parlier, his dad (84 and still working hard!) and his crew ----- love these guys!
