more on the house project...





Thought I better document our house project with a couple of recent pics. I haven't posted our progress since here. It's really moving along and I'm sure since I just said this, we're jinxed and it's now going to drag on and take forever. Oh well, I'm just excited to share about what takes up 99% of our time...

It's all sealed up for inside work now and sheet rock started this week. The outside still needs painted as well as brick layed. We're both keeping busy calling and meeting with subs, getting bids, researching products, and trying to finish up all of the loose ends. But it does feel like we're on the down-hill slide now. Maybe the next time I post about it, we'll be living there ;)

It's beautiful! I'm jealous of all you Royal Citians and your new houses!

Wow, you have a lot of windows to wash! ;-) It looks good. Building a house is a bit like birthing a baby...a lot of work. Hope it goes smoothly from here. Maybe we'll come visit sometime after it's done.

Katie I love your new house. You are not going to know what to do with all that space. Can't wait to see it all done.

Kacy said...

Hi!
I came across your blog today. Maddie is a beautiful little girl. I have a 2 year old daughter, Cassidy, who was born with Tetralogy of Fallot w/ PA & MAPCA’s.
I think blogs are a great way to get the word about about CHD’s and I commend you for what you’re doing.
My wife and I are also on a mission to spread the word about CHD’s. We just started a jewelry company called Lucky 10. All of our products are handmade and pertain to Heart Defects and the Heart Community in general.
Please check out our site when you get a moment. If you could help us get the word out about our new business we would be very grateful. It’s a project that’s very dear to our hearts.

Thanks so much and we look forward to reading more on your blog!
Thanks,
Vito Lisa

Take care.

Looks like and exciting new place to call home. I'll bet you;re decorating and redecorating it in your head all day.

I tried to send you an email about the Paul Cardall concert, but I'm not sure it made it through. Yes! We are going and I would LOVE to meet you. Please send me an email to mindi2532@hotmail.com and I will respond with my cell number and we'll come up with some complicated and wonderful plan to meet!

The other day I told Carter he had to help me clean house if he wanted to got with Jackson and I to Seattle this week, he said, Mom our house is too messy let's just make a new one like Cade's!! So Carter will be moving in with you to avoid cleaning his room---by the way he snores.

Wow! Can't wait to see it finished. Maybe we can do a progressive dinner at all the new Allred houses. Kind of like an Open House with yummy food! So happy for you guys! I am sure you are very eager for this phase to be complete!
