Moving right along.......

Been a little lagging in getting a house update on the blog....mostly because I wasted a lot of energy trying to figure out how to upload a video that my dad took of him and Blake breaking and entering into the house one rainy day (as you'll notice - I never figured it out)  Cute as the video was, I was really trying to post it because in this state, it's tough to get a feeling for the house layout from still pictures, but a video really shows you how the space feels when you walk around - and who wouldn't love to have Blake as their tour guide?

Anyway - here are a lot of pics from a few collected visits.  Next time we visit I'll hopefully be able to get a video but we may have drywall up at that point...which will just be crae- crae

In case you're keeping track, here is a list of the last few things that went into the house after framing:

• Plumbing
• HVAC
• Electrical
• Cable/Ethernet Rough Ins
• Our basement slab has also been poured but due to a water issue I wasn't able to get down there

Some exterior shots...
Some Shots of the neighborhood...
A lot of Interior Shots...
Living Room/Morning Room	Mudroom Entrance
Morning Room	I think somewhere upstairs??
Boys Bedrooms	Living Room
Kitchen (and our project manager)
And some shot of the boys...just for the hell of it : )
