Not a whole lot of house stuff to show you.  They have done some stuff but nothing particularly photogenic.  They have put in the fireplace on the screened porch but I apparently didn't take any photos of it.  The "shake" (darker color on the gables) is now paired but its had to see on these photos.  It looks the same color as the roof - but its not.






OK, this has got nothing to do with the house.  Debbie was in Washington DC with her mom for the w/end and brought Ethan back a monster toy.  Since he was from DC, Ethan decided to name him Barrack Obama.  I was tidying up and discovered that he'd made the video attached all on his own...  enjoy.

Sunday the 22nd April


The roof is on and the gray is the color it will be.  the cream has yet to be painted.  The painting of the trim (white) has yet to be finished.  The part where you can still see the wrap (plastic) will be covered by stone.
Trim detail over the garage entrance.

You can see the different colors.  They have not quite finished painting the back of the house.

The roof over the screened porch is not done yet.  On this you can see one of the skylights.

Tub in the master bath.  Its full cause they have to test it for leaks by filling it with water and leaving it for about a week (I think)


Hannah in what will be her bathroom.  Well, its not totally hers, but mostly.

Some of the cabling under the stairs.  There is an unbelievable amount of cable in this place.  Under the stairs will be like a mini server room.

Lot of progress

Was just looking at the last entry and was surprised how much progress has been made since then.

Notice that we now have the semi circular windows and siding.  There is also... a roof.

Progress on the upstairs

OK, I'm late but I've been busy.  These photos are about a week old, I'll take more today and update the blog again soon.  I realized that I didn't take may pic's when I visited the hose last weekend so I've filled in a few from the grounds of Duke University.


No roof yet but upstairs mostly framed



Unfortunately these net shots are NOT the back garden.  They are from a visit we took to the grounds of Duke University.  Its absolutely gorgeous!
