Stove Hood

The vent hood for over the stove that I showed in the last post is done and hung. It will be painted white to match the cabinets.  

Fireplace progress

I think it's safe to say that my vision for the fireplace might just push our builder, Jerad, over the edge.  Jerad agrees that it's a cool idea, but he told me he's not even going to take a picture of it when it's done because he never wants to do something like this again! Jamie told Jerad he's actually getting off easy because Jamie is the one that has to live with me and put up with my ideas every day! Ha!

 

 

I also had the idea for Jerad to build the vent hood for over the stove.  I found it in the garage and I'm loving how it is turning out. It'll be painted white to match the cabinets. Funny story - Jamie actually left the room when I was telling Jerad about this idea because he couldn't handle any more of my "What about if we did something like this..." questions for Jerad.  I think he thought for sure Jerad was going to kill me.  (And for the record, Jerad was excited about this idea!)

 

 

 

Well, we're getting closer but did get the news that our builder needs an extra week.  This means we are closing on September 19th.  Based on how things were looking Jamie and I both figured that our September 12th date would be pushed back so I'm thrilled that it's only an extra week. 





Siding is done & we are just waiting on stone.

Stairs are getting started.



There will be transom windows over the entrance to the dining room and the living room from the front door.



Deck is nearly done.



They finally added the extra cement to the basement patio.
