That new house I've been mentioning...

I thought it high time to post some pictures and a timeline of the 'new house'. 

We bought this lot, right at an acre, before Thanksgiving 2011.

After lots of searching, a few potential spots, a few that ended up falling through, we found this one.

Its right at an acre, on a country road, kinda in the middle of no-where.

I kinda love it.

It's quiet.

We have 6 HUGE trees on our lot.  They have acorns!  ACORNS!  I really love it. 

Many nights were spent discussing and planning what we wanted in our new house.

My big thing was porches.

I  wanted a farm house, but a farm house doesn't fit this area so porches made it more 'farmy' feeling to me.

We picked our plans in January of 2012 (I think).

 

May 3, 2012 we put our house up for sale.

May 13, 2013 we signed a contract on our house.

May 26, 2012 we closed on our house.

July 18, 2012 they cleared the land for the new house.

August 20, 2012 footers were poured.

September 22, 2012 block was laid around footers/foundation.

September 29, 2012 framing began.

October 13, 2012 roof started.

December 29, 2012 drywall started.

January 8, 2013 hardwood floors laid.

January 12, 2013 Prime walls and paint ceilings.

January 13,2013 Interior doors installed.

January 14, 2013 trim work started, 2nd front door installed.

This picture was taken last weekend. 

Currently, the front yard is full of water because the water line was hit when they were digging to lay the electric plus 5 days of rain steady rain. 

Good news, it's not close to the house. 

But, here she is!

We are so excited!

This is a sort-of panoramic shot of the back yard.

This is looking from left to center...

...and this is center to right.

Lots of room to play and run!!!!

Projected MOVE OUT OF THE APARTMENT date is Feb 28.

I've said since we started I wanted Easton's 3rd Birthday to be here...that's cutting it CLOSE.

I'll be back later this week, or maybe next, to post some interior pictures and a few plans for each room!
