Progress

Happy Sunday!

Ok so I know I promised a video in my last blog entry but I lied.  I was never able to make it happen. I was going to put together a video similar to those " shit people say" videos on you tube that involves pole but,

life got in the way a bit. Awkward silence, disapointed sigh, eye roll etc......

The title of this post is "Progress" however its not pole related. Please refer back to my first entry and you will see this blog is about pole, barrel racing, and my house progress. So here are a few photos I have taken from April 2012 to present of our new come construction. We started building our 2500 sq foot ranch with full basement in April 2012 and are hoping to be in end of this month.So that means we will be in in sometime in December because anything a contractor tells you regarding a time frame is a dirty lie. Add at least a week to whatever they tell you.  This comes to mind...

I wish you weren't a liar! Will Ferrell on SNL was pure genius.

The picture above was taken about the end of 4/12.  I was hoping to just fill  the hole with water and make a swimming pool but my husband thought putting a house there would be more practical better.

beginning of May...ish..yep Mayish.

Fast forward to end of May.

Fast forward to June. This is the back of the house. Its much larger than the front being that our house is curved.

End of June/July

Exterior color for the house was by far the hardest decision to make. We went with LP Smartside. It took be 2 weeks to narrow it down to 2 colors. The color we chose looks green/grey/or tan depending on the lighting.

 This is part of  the kitchen.We went with Kraftmaid cabinets in white. the Island is dark for some contrast.Hardwood was a no brainier in the kitchen being that it is wayyyyy cheaper than our tile and im cheap something that can be refinished.
