We've been under construction for How Long??
Last year at this time the foundation walls had been poured and the ground was back filled so that you could see the house. We blockaded the yard with caution tape and had the self serve Halloween candy dish at the end of the yard. This year we still had caution tape around the front yard perimeter - more so because we didn't want any kids tromping through the freshly spread top soil. Looking back at the pictures - what a difference a year makes!!
Exterior
What would abarn be if it wasn't a red barn!! The weather has finally co-oporated and the siding is almost all installed. There are still a few question marks as to what we are going to finish the exterior with but I would say we are 90% there. I have installed the exterior lights and the house glows at night. All that is missing above the barn is the basketball net and then we are ready to go!
The "bird house" otherwise known as Sarah's room will be getting a corrugated metal verticle finish - probably some time over the winter. In the spring we will also be building the deck that will extend from the double doors at the left to the single garden door off to the right.
The bird house corrugated metal will extend to the cedar shakes and wrap the entire second floor. The posts for the Pergola from a previous post have been removed - we needed them for landscaping and I am not sure what the deck will be. We are thinking of an exterior fireplace now...
Finally just another shot of the front looking south.

It's been awhile
I haven't been as diligent in updating the house renovation of late - partially as there isn't as much to show or tell and partially because I am getting lazy!! That being said here a re a few random images
The first image is on the south wall in our existing living room. I had come accross a leather look commercial vinyl that one of my Rep's generously provided a large 9 yard sample. You can barely make it out but there is a grid pattern on the wall.
We are still trying to find the right furniture for the family room but the piano fits in nicely. The two white tables were from IKEA this summer - not sure when we will find the sofa.
The two doors are to the Pantry and the Dining room. They are both solid core doors that were milled with frosted glass inserts.
And finally behind door number one is the pantry closet. I am not sure how we have lived so long without one. We are still organizing where everything goes but it is great having the storage space.
