September 17 update

This week is super busy inside and outside.  A very helpful young neighbor and Dave went together and rented a power rack, which he used to rack our whole yard, except for the very back hill.  Today, he and Dave are racking, spreading grass seed and rolling the yard.  Needless to say, Dave bought a LOT of grass seed!

 Spreading grass seed.  He has the same tractor.

Some views of the side yards and the front

Jeff and Jim (builders) finished the deck except for the steps today

I love the view from our backyard.  Every neighbor that has stopped over as remarked on the great view that we will have from our living areas. 

Looking North from the deck.

 Looking Northeast; future fire pit

The drywall crew was here yesterday and applied the second coat.  Today they are spraying the walls and ceilings in the garages.  Tomorrow, they start the texture layer in the house.  

Also, Jeff and Jim are installing the first couple outside lights today.

  

A BIG barnyard light on the front and one will also go on the back of the house. 

Motion lights

It is so fun watching the house come together!!!  We have always dreamed of building a house.  The planning and preparation for this house has taken almost two years, so finally seeing our dream coming into fruition is very exciting!!
