September progress report

September has been a good month so far regarding the progress on the house.  Jeff and Jim replaced the final window in the front bedroom and finished the siding.  Hopefully, this Friday, the Jeld-wen techs will be here to replace all the trim on all the windows and replace glass in 8 windows.  When that issue is totally resolved I will breath a sigh of relief.

The dry-wall installers have finished the install of drywall.  The crew that will do the taping and muddying will start tomorrow.  Depending on the weather, Jeff, Jim and Roberto will start on the columns and railing on the porch or start the deck.  This week should see a good amount of progress on the house.

So as promised previously, here are some pictures of the various rooms now that there is better definition of the rooms.

This is the front garage with storage units

Steps up to the mudroom, Space on the landing for

a freezer.  See the little cubbyhole for passing grocery bags

through to the landing.

The mudroom; first door on left is the door to half bath and door closes to

outside will be my cleaning supply closet.

The future family room in the lower level, maybe we can

get it completed next year.

Stairs to garage from lower level.

Airstream garage, each of the garages has 14 ft ceilings.  

We are getting so excited!!!  It has been so cold here in north central Iowa, just in the low 60's today.  We are ready to be in a house as we started the Airstream adventure in cold weather and we will be ending it in cold weather.

Thanks for checking in, hopefully I will have more pictures soon with more finish details to them.  Really looking forward to having a full kitchen and space for the dogs to run outside.  We are hoping to get a portion of the backyard fenced before winter so they have some running room.
