Finally.
These pictures are from Easter Sunday, when we were surprised to find the driveway completed, the siding and stone work finished, and a lot more work inside done. For the first time, we could see the house taking shape.
On to the pics:
Here are the exterior shots. This is pretty much what the house is going to look like...though we will ideally have grass in the yard. No guarantees though.
This is a shot of the backyard mud puddle, and the surrounding area. The big grassy area is common space, which can't be built on. This gives us some more space, which is nice.
Here is the kitchen. Cabinets...woo! You can see where the recessed can lights will be going.
Living room. The mantle is built around the fireplace now, which is nice. The hole in the ceiling above the fireplace is where a pair of small spotlights will go. Now we just have to find something worth showing off.
This is the staircase (duh)...up until now, we haven't had the railing in.
This is our room...I had at least two apartments in my life that were smaller than this room.
This is the loft area on the second floor.
This is one of the other bedrooms. They all kinda look the same right now.
That's what we've got for now. We'll be making a return trip in two weeks, once we get back from Detroit. We will undoubtedly post more pictures at that point.

More Home Pics
OK, so we're slow at uploading. Anyhow...here are a few pictures from two weeks ago. Hooray for siding!
By tomorrow there will be a new set of pictures that will go up more quickly...highlights will include drywall, cabinets, and doors. I think.
Anyhow, here goes...
Exterior shots:
Inside...no walls yet at this point. I'm pleased to report that there are in fact walls now. I raised quite a ruckus at the idea of a wall-less house.
This is the guest bedroom. I was hoping it would be windowless to promote a prison feeling. Alas, you will have light. Bah.
This is the kitchen, as seen from the living room. The odd structure in the room is the island.
Living room and fireplace (and lots of drywall).
A few shots up the upper floors:
That's it for now. Lots more tomorrow.
On a side note...we got our closing letter today. Looks like D-Day is Friday, May 16th. So, we're under two months at this point!
