Building the new House

The first week of July we started building our new house! A lot has happened and been accomplished since then. I should of started blogging about this from day one instead of trying to put everything in one post. It's nearly impossible to post every picture that's been taken, so I've only uploaded main ones. New house status right now: We're in the dry, HVAC (heat pump/air) installation started last week as well as rough in of the plumbing. Our shingles should be in next week so if we get any more of this horrendous, but much needed rain it should stay dry inside. We've had great sub contractors so far so everything has been going really well and without much headaches! We've also picked out floors and bathroom/kitchen hardware (sink and shower faucets). Now time to think about paint colors.
