Photo Day!

Hello all and welcome to photo day! (Fun Fact: Click on the photos to make them bigger!) I finally lugged out my little baby we like to call "the professional"  and took it out to the house! (I dont think I've ever actually called it that) We headed out there this past sunday because they had poured the foundation when I last wrote. Waking up that morning we honestly had no idea how much this changes our view on things. By the end of the trip there we had a renewed and refreshed feeling! We hit up Lowes and got all my supplies I needed to transplant my garden into my lovely garden box! 

Side note about this garden box: When we first moved in together I said I would love to have a garden again. Showed him a picture of a big box and said "this is what I want!" Lucky me I had a long day at work one sunday and he got with our roommate Jake (who is Todds son) and they worked it out and built me this box! When I came home exhausted I saw a clean house and smelled fresh saw dust... he took me out to the garage and showed me this big I mean HUGE garden box that could probably hold 3 grown men. I am a lucky girl I tell you!!! 

So anyways... we finally added wheels (after moving it 2 times already. I swear its 900lbs) and 10 bags of dirt later I was able to transplant my cucumbers! 

Sunday we met with Todd out here at the lot. Where they are standing is in my pantry near the garage. I am at the back corner of the house where our main window is in the master bedroom.

Here the boys are talking about the front door. The Hubs measured it to make sure our giant door is still going to fit... it will :) I am now standing on the front of the house where our bathroom is. 

This is where the island in the kitchen is going to be. Keep in mind we have tooonnnnsss of wide open space. I'm standing in the living room. 

So this is the back yard. Yea. I know. Its going to need a lot of work. BUT ITS HUGE!!! 

Well this is mostly supposed to be about our little red friend but here you can see where the tree guys tore up the fence from the neighbors... yuck. 

Today we come out here to the house and found block! Yay!!! I would be standing in the bedroom or maybe right outside of it. The two notches in the middle are the windows in the spare bedrooms. The far ones are the windows in the bathrooms. The garage is on the left side and the back of the house is to your right. 

This view is from the road leading up to the house. That my friends to your left is the start of a great 2 car garage!!!

I thought these guys looked pretty cool! They go over top of all the window and door openings in the house. 

This is now the back of the house with our walls going up! Yay!!!

Well this is awkward.... ha I kid I made The hubs take this (he so hates taking photos) This is my big window I asked for!! I wanting something huge and lovely to look out on the backyard from our dining room table and the kitchen. It has a little corner and then another window to the right... then another small piece of wall and then a 3-paned sliding glass door. 

This is the zombie room. Hahah its actually made for "pool" storage if we decide on one. If not then it will be for easy access to things we might need in the back yard. Its the one part of the house that will be completely blocked closed. If we lived in Kansas it would be our Tornado room. 

This is where they forgot to add the other wall to the zombie room! Oops! 

Pardon my nerd glasses! 

This is the future location of my soaking tub. I am soo so so excited! I think when we move in I wont take a shower I am going to take a long hot bath!!! 

Then something strange happened. We were walking back to the house from the yard and we looked up and saw....

Thermin. 

Thermin started following us everywhere in the house! He was pretty great even for a cat :) 

Todd was driving by and saw us and he pulled in! Ha! So 7 ish tonight we had a little meeting with him... shortly after the block guy, Otto stopped in too! This really is a local job site for a lot of our guys! 

He said they will be close to finishing the blocking out of the house by monday or tuesday! He was a really nice guy and told us that he really liked the house. He also said that some lady came up to him when he first started and asked "whats with all these Mega-Homes?!" haha! silly lady its not that big!  

Hey Thermin! I swear this guy was everywhere! He is our night security :) 

I should be taking my big camera out there from here on out so no more iphone photos!
