Porch

Our porch has been Matt's major project for weeks now. And it looks great! I love the stone and the columns that Matt's been building are exactly how I pictured them. Check out the picture. The column on the far left is the only one completed when I took this picture.

Stone, Sheetrock, Siding Trim, Oh My!

Matt has been working a lot recently on the exterior of the house. A lot of trim and the bead board for the porches. He's still doing trim this weekend and doesn't expect to be finished any time soon. There's just so much of it to put up and Matt's a perfectionist, which is fine by me. It'll take longer, but since we expect to live in this house for the rest of our lives, it'll be worth it.

The stone guys have finally started the exterior stone. I don't know how much of a feel you can get for it by this pictures, but it looks amazing! It'll wrap around the bottom 3 foot of the entire house, the whole kitchen wall and the porch columns.


Here it is on the kitchen wall

And the garage with hardware
A huge improvement to the interior of the house has been the installation of sheetrock. It's in it's final stages and should be finished this week.
