We moved all our stuff in on July 24, 2010. We spent our first night in our house July 23, 2010. Dan describes it as, all his dreams were filled with party hats. It is very nice to finally be in our new house and start getting things organized. Here are some pictures.

May 10, 20010-

Our sheetrock was deliverd today and they will start hanging on Wednesday, May 12.

Our Stone is half way done and it is looking so good. We have starting the J-Channel and Siding on the east side of the house. It is looking good. We got our siding at an awesome deal. The company was closing out the size of siding at an amazing price and they had the right amount for our house.

I can't wait to see it all together.

We had another Inspection on May 7, 20010 to finish up the 4-way. Check the Insulation and check the felt paper and flashing for our rock. We have our Soffit and Fascia all up. We passed!

4-way Inspection

2010-05-04T18:45:00.000-07:00

We scheduled our first 4- way inspection (Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing) on April 22, 2010.

The inspector left a list of 20 items to fix before we could pass. We spent the next week working on all of the items.We scheduled our second 4-way (Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing) on April 30, 2010. We passed everything except one item, something to do with washers and bolts for our laundry room wall. We passed enough to go a head and start the Insulation and Exterior work.

We have an Inspection for our Stone papering and insulation – Thurs May 6, 2010 @ 9:00

May 4, 2010

We had our Exterior guys come and put our soffit and fascia up along with papering and netting for our stone. We will be able to get the stone started as soon as we pass the inspection.

We had our Insulation company come May 4, 2010 and they put insulation in the walls, when we pass the inspection we can go ahead with sheetrock and insulation in the attic.

We have Sheet Rock Scheduled to go in/up on Monday May 10, 2010

We have been busy picking out colors of stone/rock, siding, tile, cabinets, countertops.

We have had to figure out were to put lights, light switches, plugs, T.V., Telephone jacks and lots of stuff like that.

Electrical

2010-04-18T19:48:00.000-07:00

Dan has been working on the electrical and we are basically done. Here is the box that we just got done wiring. We are planning on having our 4-way inspection on Wed.
Wish us luck and hope we pass!

We have shingles

January and February

2010-02-24T15:43:00.000-08:00

For the past couple of months we have been working on Plumbing and Electrical. It has been moving pretty slow. There is a lot to be done and we have been very busy with different life stuff. Our roofer is slowly putting on shingles. Almost all the lights in and we have a lot of wire to pull. There will be an end someday soon. I hope.

House update!

2010-01-11T15:58:00.000-08:00

Here is what we have done the past month, It is really hard to take pictures of what has been going on. We have started putting in electrical boxes and light boxes and a lot of can lights. Dan has been calculating where they will actually be putting light out, not where they you would think to put them. So hopefully with all his time they will be exactly where we want them. My dad has been working on the plumbing, we have the sewer lines all in and he will be starting the water lines soon. We had a company come in and put in our HVAC and run the air ducks. It is very hard to let some one else come work on your house and put things in where they are not suppose to go. They just dont seem to care as much. We have been busy building stairs and a half wall for our railing. We will begin to finish the framing down stairs, so we can finish the basement family room. We are hoping to be able to pass our big 4-Way Inspection which I hope will be in February some time, We will see.

Here is our Utility room with the Furnace and electrical box.

This is a view from the front room

Dan putting in our can lights in our kitchen, dining room and great room

These are the stairs that Dan built

Our soon to be finished Basement.

We were going to wait until we moved in to finish the basement, but then we found out you have to close it off and have a landing and a door. So rather then building walls that we really don't want up in the end. We decided we would put the walls up for the bedroom and utility room and finish the basement,

Thanksgiving weekend

2009-11-29T10:07:00.001-08:00

We have windows and half the doors in. We received all the door but we were sent two of the wrong doors. So we will have to wait till next weekend to be all dried in. We got a lot done this week with three whole days to work on the house. We put up two more walls in the basement, so we could start working on our stairs, Dan was able to frame some angle walls to finish our vault in the family room, and we started putting up electrical boxes. Yea! We also had to go to Home Depot to pick out our bathroom fixtures and get door handles. There are a lot of decisions to make when you are building a house. I just hope we pick the right stuff.

We have a Front Door!!!!

2009-11-21T11:13:00.000-08:00

Last week we were not able to work at the house because it was snowing. So Dan and my Brother took the Day off on Wednesday to help us finish our roof. Our roofer came on Wednesday and put the drip edge up and dried our house in.

We are hoping to put in windows and finish the pony wall in our Family/Kitchen on Saturday November 21, 09

2009-11-08T15:11:00.000-08:00

We have been working on getting the roof sheathed for quite some time now. Who new we picked a complicated roof line. Dan took the day off work on Friday and my brother Sam came up, they worked on the east side of the house. On Saturday October 31, 2009, We had an amazing crew, we got a lot done, Thanks to my Dad, Sam, Danny, Zack, Carrie, Kent, Adam, K.C., Luke!

Roof Trusses

2009-09-27T20:27:00.001-07:00

This is what the house looked like before we started working on Saturday September 26, 2009.

We scheduled a crane to come and help us lift trusses on the house, The crane driver was suppose to show up between 1:00 -2:00. He showed up at 12:40.

This is the First Truss we put up on the house, It is a pretty cool process.

This is our house about half way threw around 3:30.

We are all finished, it took awhile but we got it all up. We had a very opinionated crane driver. He was telling us how to do things, it was not fun.

September 19, 2009

2009-09-21T21:09:00.000-07:00

We finished putting up all the walls in the Upstairs and put on all the top plates. Our Roof Trusses or coming on Monday September 21, 2009. We are putting the trusses up on September 26, 2009 with a big crane. Here are some pic of what it is starting to look like.

Cement Floor

2009-06-28T21:11:00.000-07:00

June 19,2009

It finally stopped raining, so we were able to pour our basement floor, It is sad how the older you get the more excited you get about silly little things, like a cement floor on your soon to be new house.

Back Fill

2009-06-08T19:43:00.000-07:00

We are getting ready to pour our cement floor and again we are being delayed because of Rain, We were planning on pouring on May 29, 2009. But the gravel was not laid and ready, we post poned till June 5, 2009, it rained Wed and Thurs so we had big puddles of water in our front yard, so the back hoe could not get in or else it would sink. We are hoping for June 12, 2009 at 9:00.

We are getting ready for window wells

Foundation

2009-05-18T20:50:00.000-07:00

May 8, We were suppose to Pour Footings, But once again we did not pass Inspection.
Our Inspector is really tough, we poured May 11, 2009

Footings

2009-05-18T20:07:00.000-07:00

This is a long Video, but I thought it was to cool to not show.

We poured our footings on May 4, 2009 The Pumper Truck was so cool. Dan is a pro at running the cement hose. He was covered Head to Toe with cement by the time we were finished. Way to go Dan!

We were we suppose to get an Inspection and pass and pour concrete on Friday May 1, 2009. Apparently code has changed in the last couple of years and we had to put up more forms and a grounding rod in, so we pushed back the footings until Monday May 4, 2009, let’s hope we pass the Inspection the second time.

2009-04-25T08:52:00.000-07:00

April 25, 2009

For the past week we have been working on getting the footing set up . Stacking things out, Cleaning up the form boards, leveling and screwing the boards together. Things are coming along.
