January 8th - Frame & roof sheathing complete, house wrapped
Included this picture to show the color brick we're using
January 16th - Windows & doors installed (except for the front door), electrician's boxes installed, shingles started.
I took this picture from the back of the front half of our lot that we cleared.
Caroline and Caitlin playing in the back yard, in the dirt of course. Caitlin lives a couple of houses down and across the street. From what I understand there are quite a few small children in the neighborhood which is pretty small, so I'm sure Caroline will be making lots of new friends. Behind the cleared part of our lot is almost an acre that is still wooded and backs up to a creek (Travis has big plans for bow hunting back there.)

Inside the house - stair case from kitchen
Travis' "Man Cave" (that he also has to share with Caroline.) When we first walked up there, a bird was flaying around but he finally figured out how to get out of the house.
January 23rd - fireplace, plumbing pipes, tubs, and shower, HVAC installed, shingles completed
The shower will have two shower heads, one coming from the ceiling on the left side (something Travis wanted since he's tall and almost has to dunk under a regular shower head) and a regular one on the right side 
We're getting more excited as more progress is made on the house. Next week the electrician should come back to do wiring, then insulation will be installed. Will post more pictures soon. Caroline has been camera shy lately, so I have no good pictures of her to share now.

It IS exciting. I am ready to deliver some of your worldly goods back to you--including Bob! Maybe Grandpa and I can come down and inspect it sometime soon.
looking good! it's amazing how much progress has been made in just a few weeks. keep the pictures coming!
just showed david the pics and we both agree that your yard would definitely acommodate another dog (kramer). he could run to his heart's content :-)
The progress on the house is impressive. I'm so glad that Travis has some room to roam in the back. Does he know I got a bow for Christmas? Don't plan to hunt, just do some target shooting after the weather gets better.
