This is the bonus room being sheet rocked. What a mess!

Turn your head sideways and you can see our living room half way done. Things are moving along now!!!

This is the siding from all sides. I'm not sure what color we should paint it. I am waiting to see the brick colors and go from there.


This is my granite. This will go with my dark brown cupboards. The cupboards come in 2 weeks! Things are picking up!

They are putting in the "stuffing". It is called insulation. It helps so we don't here a lot of noise between rooms. It also helps to keep the cold air out in winter time. This picture is taken from our kitchen and looking into our bedroom.

Last night Grandpa and I went out to the house and swept up all the floors. When they put things in the walls it makes a mess on the floor from the wood shavings. We are also marking all the wood beams so when the sheet-rockers come they will know where to put the nails. We do this by putting a mark on the floor. We want the nails to hit the wood not the empty spaces.

They are putting up the siding. We had wanted all brick but had to settle for siding. We will have brick in the front of the house though. Things are moving on!!

We had the fireplace lowered so we don't have such a big step up. I want to keep things lower because we are putting a tv above the fireplace.

Things have been moving slow because we were waiting on a rough inspection. The electric has taken a long time too. This is my cam lights over the kitchen counters. They will be great! Larry has been doing a lot of extra wiring for low voltage items, such as security and music and so on. He has put a lot o time into the house.

This is the garage lights and garage openers. Larry put extra lights in front of the garage too. We wanted 4 instead of 2. Larry has a neat system of organizing the cords, One loop on the cord goes to the light, 2 loops go to the openers and so on. He is so organized.

This is a plug....we have lots of them! We are buying lights for the house.

The following are some of my Granite choices. I didn't get a picture of one that I liked it had light green swirled through white. This one is beige with maroon flecks.

This one has maroon specks and blue flecks with a dark back gorund

This one is beige, but boring....

Our Elders are being transferred out of the area. We have had two sets and this set is leaving. They were our bike Elders so we had chances to help them out a lot, with rides and with feeding them. We will miss them. Elder Robinson and Elder Gesleson
