BUILDING A NEW HOME: A Lot of Progress Now & For May

BUILDING A NEW HOME

This is a detailed account of our experience building a dream house. Hopefully, it will chronicle our daily or at least weekly experiences with the project. We are not building it ourselves, but instead hired a builder to handle that part of the stress. This is our labor of love and we give thanks to God for blessing us with the opportunity to do it.

About Me

Name: PARIS

Location: United States

I absolutely love and adore God as my first mission in life. My second greatest loves are my children and husband. I also have a very deep and sincere commitment to the aid, love and support of hurting, impoverised, and/or underprivelaged children here and abroad. I spend much of my resources trying to be a blessing to many of those children in the world. If you are interested in helping please let me know. I am very interested in business issues as I own 2 companies. I am highly ambitious and driven. I love new homes, and interior design. I'm an admitted shopaholic. I've been singing since I was a small child and have an infinite love for music.

A Lot of Progress Now & For May

As stressful as this process has been lately, a lot is getting accomplished. The hard wood floors are now completely in (still have to be sanded again and coated). Just about all the siding is up on the sides and back of the house. The finished basement has now been framed and all the electrical wiring and lighting have been completed. Dry wall should begin next week for that. Wow now that I see it framed the rooms seem to look so much bigger. The tile work in 3 out of 4 bathrooms is finished. It's almost done in the msbthrm. as well. I love the tile but we had a panic moment in the msbth. I thought that we might have made the wrong choice until I saw the tile go up in the shower. It looks good. Next week I believe the trim guys start and I hear that cabinetry and all that fun stuff comes around then as well. Before the month is out we should have light fixtures in, granite (hopefully), painted walls (hopefully), and appliances.
