Progress on our House

We broke ground on March 29th and here we are on April 23rd (25 Calendar Days, 22 Actual Working Days!) Windows were installed today, Exterior doors and 4 way inspection on Monday!


Here is our house just after the Framing was completed.




Here is a shot with the roofing almost complete.




This is the view out of the Master Bedroom window.





This is the view out of one of the kids bedrooms (we haven't decided who will be in which room yet.)

Web Cam

I almost forgot - Our new neighbors have set up a web cam for us to view the progress of our home. This has been useful with me working in Salt Lake all day, but most of all it's just been kind of cool to watch the progress. The camera provides live video, that I can control via the Internet (zoom, wide, pan left or right / up or down, etc.) Here are couple of snap shots taken from the end of today.


View from the Second Floor

Things are progressing on our new home. This morning I took a few pictures from the second floor. We should have some nice views. As far as schedule goes, trusses got delivered today and will be set tomorrow morning - we are still on track to be done in June! (Even with all this crazy/snowy weather we've been having.)

Priate Island!

We took Jackson to Pirate Island for his Birthday. His Birthday was actually almost a week ago but we just had a lot going on with the move, the new house and Easter weekend. Jack had fun and so did the girls. The food was decent and there was plenty of it! I think we took home as much as we ate there. Obviously the arcade was the highlight for the kids.

"Home" Music

I did a little searching through playlist.com looking for songs with the word "home" or "house" in the lyrics. I found a hand full - some of which I haven't heard in quite a while. These should be somewhat fitting for the next 2-3 months while we build our new home. :)
