We're really doing it. We're building a house! This will be a place to keep track of our progress and all the ups and downs that come with building a house.

A Wordy Update

A bit frustrated with our builder this week.  Last week he said he needed our interior paint colors by Tues. and we were expecting to start on Wed-Thurs.  We wanted to do some of the painting and at least get started on Trevin's room since we're doing a special board and batten treatment on the walls but our builder wasn't even in town so we didn't have the paint to get started.

We are having a very hard time deciding on carpet.  Ugh.  Kelly went back to the place in Salt Lake on Wednesday but still couldn't make a decision.  So on Friday we went to a carpet place in Burley and then back to our favorite (but expensive) local home building supply store.  We moved on to tile for the bathrooms and picked out what we wanted so that was fun. We are going to pick it up next Friday in Boise.

Kelly took Kyler and the Hitt boys over to the house this morning and they took a couple of loads of trash that was laying around outside the house over to the dump.  It looks a lot better out there.  And our friend Dallan was cleaning out his horse pen and dumped his manure in our backyard so we've got some "fertilizer" whenever we get around to putting in our yard.

We are headed out of town for Spring Break this week and I hope that we will see a lot of progress when we return.  They are supposed to put up doors and trim, paint inside, pour the concrete in the  garage/driveway, and hopefully finish the well. Sure hope I'm not disappointed.
