First Post of 2012

Okay - we obviously survived the holidays and were once again reminded how blessed we are.  The house is continuing to take shape as the cabinets are being installed, the sheetrock is textured, the trim is going up, and the staircase is be being assembled.  Here are a few pictures to document our progress.

Here is a picture of the cabinets in the utility room.  It was dark when we got out there this evening, so it's not a really good picture.

Here is a picture of the shutters that we'll have on the inside of the windows that are on the front of the house.

 They also dug the trench by the front entrance for the utilities.  They should install the new power pole next week.

Here is a picture of the trim that will be in the more "formal" areas of the house.

And...this shows the early stages of the stairway.  It's the bottom step, the spindles, and the view up the stairs.

Happy New Year to all!!!!!
