so fun to see the exterior coming together! (after allllllll the hours of deliberation, no one should let amateurs like me build houses)

Shall we ask Joseph how much he looooves this ill-fitted light fixture? Whoever drilled the holes in the back of this one is fired.


Thank you for repainting my alabaster (initial paint choice) man doors


Shall we ask the electrician how he fixed this vent?

Sara loved working up at the house alongside Joseph every night, thank you Sara for cleaning so much!!!!

super cool recessed lighting by my super cool electrician
  

Joseph organized the cold storage. WOW. I WISH I had a before picture on this one...Sara had to fly back to St. Louis the night before Joseph did this. When we told her on the phone that he cleaned this up, she said "Good job Joseph! I'm so proud of you!" =) She is the queen of clean!


Noelle loves couch shopping, her favorite part are the fluffy pillows 


Lights on at the house with the moon above! yay! =)

Next week: All the stuff that didn't happen this week. sigh. BIG BIG BIG SIGH. why is construction so PATCHY. Sometimes things happen. Sometimes nothing happens. Did I already sigh? If not, let me just sigh one more time here. 
SIGH. 

Hoping for decks, insulation in the roof, a SEPTIC TANK, gable beams, exterior light fixtures, finish on exterior rock, and CARPET. Everyone take a moment a pray that our carpet man will show up. SIGH. 
Hopefully next week we can list of a zillion things that happened. SIGH.
Okay. I'm done sighing now.


sigh.
