Moving FAST!

Well, it's only been 8 days since the last post and the insulation is done and passed inspection and all the drywall is hung as of today! It's moving so fast I can hardly keep up!
It will slow down a little on the drywall now because it takes them a while to do their mudding and all that stuff but we anticipate the painters starting on March 3rd if everything continues to go as planned. It's amazing what putting up the sheetrock does and how you're able to better visualize what the room size is and where to put furniture etc.
We are looking forward to all of that stuff!! We still haven't chosen the floor person i have had a couple of bids but I'm still waiting on a couple of others and just have found the "right" person! I hope to determine who that will be by this weekend!

The pictures aren't the greatest but I'll add a few for you to see the progress.
The first snow on the house...
Master Bedroom... Upstairs Bath....
Bonus Room....i love the ceilings in here!

If anyone wants to volunteer to help us clean all that stuff up you see on the floor there we'll gladly accept...and even provide the beer ;)

Bring on the INSULATION!

I'm very happy to report that we passed the rough-in inspection this morning!!! They came out on Friday and 8 minor things failed and we had them all fixed this weekend and the inspector came back out this morning and it all passed.
I feel like we're on the home stretch now. The insulation guys start tomorrow bright and early and they said they'll be done by Wednesday so then we plan to have the insulation inspection on Thursday and the drywall start on Monday. We only have 2 inspections left that's the insulation and the final so I definitely feel like we're on the home stretch!!
As far as other updates go the septic is complete, the backfilling and new (much better) driveway is complete, the well is complete so things on the exterior are going well also.
I don't really have any pictures for the update this time but I will once the drywall goes up.

On a side note for any of you that check our blog out please go out and check out this blog http://www.kurzfamily.blogspot.com/ and say a little extra prayer for this little girl (Claire) and her family. Anna knows her family very well and they could use all the extra thoughts and prayers they could get!!!
