Okay, so I've been really bad over the past three days. Sorry guys! It's just been rather hectic with work and trying to stay in shape...I just come home feeling so tired. For those of you who are seeing my album on facebook, it isn't that much of a shortfall, but anyone else...well, you're probably dying to know.
Honestly, you're probably dying to know either way.
Okay, so...first I'll start off just posting the three normal pics of the outside side by side so you can view them one right after the other... In order Wednesday, Thursday, Friday:
Okay, so I'm pretty sure you can tell what was done. The gist, however, is the beginnings of shingles on Wednesday. Whatever the stuff is they use for starting stucco, windows, and the beginnings of insulating tape for Thursday. And of course, today you can see the big change was shingles, but they also finished the tape and added a door frame to the front of the house. They also did that to back...more to come in a second...
You also probably noticed that they toted in the brick yesterday morning. Don't know when they're planning on getting it on the house. Probably sometime next week otherwise it wouldn't already be chilling out there. I promise you it's not all that single color of red. It's got greys, whites, and really what I can only describe as a weathered look. You'll see what I mean when they get it on the house.
Also, we have shingles pretty much on the whole back of the house, as you can see from this pictures to the right. I know this is only the second or third picture I've taken of the back of the house, but let's be honest...it is the back of the house. I'll post more maybe once more stuff is going on in the back...ya know...like landscaping and something other than 2x4s to hold the roof up.
I went upstairs for the first time yesterday but didn't take any pictures. I did however, do that today. The first picture to me is the most striking. It's standing on the upstairs landing looking down to the first story revealing the foyer. It kinda reminds me of a cathedral. I don't know why. It's going to look amazing once it's finished. The second photo is looking into bedroom 2 at the back of the house. You can see the sideways window. Then we have the third photo, which shows Bedroom 3 at the front of the house (they left the window propped open and probably forgot to close it). Then the last photo is looking into through the bathroom at bedroom 2 from bedroom 3.
I know, I know. It's hard to see what's going on, but once they've put the sheet rock up, I promise to take some more pictures because then the dimensions will be that much easier to figure out!
So upcoming next week, I have a meeting with Kirby on Monday to discuss the stairs...you know the things that have been giving us so much trouble? Hopefully we'll figure it out, but there are no support in the foyer right now, so fingers crossed we don't need anything! Side note on that, we also found out that getting a wood fireplace will, in fact, be an impossibility due to the way the house is laid out, but we can deal with that. A B-Vent it is, right? Never had a gas fireplace like this before, so I'm hoping it doesn't disappoint.
Finally, I set up an appointment at the flooring place on Thursday of next week since that's the only day I get off work fairly early, so I'll get to go through and pick out the floors. I'm excited about this because that's really going to give me an overall idea of what everything is going to look like. I know Kevin's a little upset about not getting to go, but scheduling is generally like that. Ah, I know he'll trust me, though. We have similar tastes, thank God.
Anyway, until next week!
