Beautiful - Day 101

Loving the look of our columns!
These color shakes are starting to grow own me as a contrast with the roof color. We originally picked a brown. We are loving the look from the driveway!

Our sweet columns. Neither of us thought they would be this big, but they are awesome. They did, however, forget to order the one on the far left that you can't see. Ooops. ;)
 

Lightrail installed! We were worried our cabinets were going to be too plain, but we absolutely love them. They are Spring Valley Maple Chiffon and we went ahead and upgraded to dovetail / slow close drawers. We also have fancy pull outs in our base cabinets. We didn't even ask for them.... they came standard with this type of cabinet. Fancy!

Over the commode shelf in kids' bathroom - This was a splurge and we're not sure it was worth it, but we like it and it will be really nice when our boys grow up.
 
They still need to install both medicine cabinets. Those were also not included, but weren't very expensive either.
 
 

Fireplace and mantel before stone. Good job hubby! I will be so happy he can put this behind him and be able to sleep at night. We are thanking our lucky stars our fireplace drama is over. WE WISH we would have just put in a WH woodburning fireplace (a cheap unit) and then put our insert in... it would have probably cost the same amount and saved everyone a lot of headache. We thought doing our own insert (Purchased from Kerns Fireplace in Lima, Ohio) would save us some time, money and headache but we were wrong. The good thing? It's going to be worth it!

Woo hoo! Day 97

The Amish siding crews are here and working hard! They were from Millersburg and were incredibly kind and hardworking. My hubby said they were even speaking German on the phone. It is so cold out here and they are working like crazy still (it is 4:45 pm). Tomorrow they should be finished. I cannot believe how much the house has changed in a few short weeks!
This was one of my favorite days to come  home and pull in our driveway! 

Our countertops got delivered and we love them!! 

Doors are here - our painter wasn't too happy he would have to move these, but oh well. 

Upside down craftsman doors. Can't wait to see these done! 

Trim is here too. 

Hubby fixing the hearth - can't wait for all of this fireplace to be done! 

Our non-Wayne Homes airtight wood burning fireplace insert....ironically called the "Montgomery!" 

Raised hearth

Stomp-knocked ceiling



The excavators were here working on the electric line. That was quite a feat in all of this snow! 

The painter didn't make it to prime but will be here tomorrow. 

This is going to be a HUGE week for our build! What a great Christmas gift for our family even if we aren't "technically" living there. 

I am not normally a fan of exclamation marks. I just couldn't help myself. Sorry readers!
