From today

Things are just moving moving today!

Kent built me a window seat! well I am assuming it may be used more by Hendrix and Jaxson, but its um sturdy enough for the whole family to sit on I think! LOL



I finally got to put together all the tile for the kitchen back splash.. and I LOVE it! They really arent that red, they are more browns.. of course.



Hendrix lent daddy I hand in making his holder for his cable, he got quite into it.. we may have to get him back down there!

We are getting there..

Slower than molasses.. FINALLY we got a great Roof quote today.. so thats getting started.. and the framing is almost all done :) YAY.. we got our bathtub... ooohhh.

Its a bit like this... I cant wait!

We also chose our oven and range top ...

I also decided we may go with this kind of counter


granite? Maybe? :)

Current timeline.. 4-6 weeks til cabinets are in :)

Productive day!

So today Kent was off and we wanted to go check out stuff for the house.. we came across and seconds and surplus, we agreed on a tile we liked and it was one of the cheaper ones.. score!!! and then found some very nice tumbled stone for the kitchen backsplash.. here is the tile laid out i wanted to see how well it matched our floors :)

Productive day!

The Sink

I love this sink.. i am hoping its as cool in person!

Things are moving.. well we are at least!

OK so we moved into 500 sq ft last weekend.. and let me tell you its a blast... ok well maybe not a blast but these kids, dogs, laundry on split levels keep me busy!

We have invested in lots of storage from Ikea and soon I will get pictures up of all of that.. once its all clean :) if that ever happens..

As far as the house.. its seen lots of vendors coming and going, Ac, Electric, Plumbing.. still need to decide on a roofer to get the leaks fixed :( but so far we are good to go.. we can probably start sheet rocking next week! Thats when it will all sink in! so crazy!

The AC monster.. this thing is CRAZY its the size of my kitchen!

As Hendrix would say "its a messsss!" its a good mess though :)

My kitchen :) one day

This is actually all up in the ceiling now.. ill have to get more pics soon.

Spring in Scottsland!

Its OURS!

OK so we did the brutal 15 mins closing.. phew.. glad thats over!

Kent and Pappaw went out and changed the locks on the doors.. this proved tougher than we thought, but Scottsland is all secured! As much as you need to in the middle of nowhere!

Houston and Kent went out and knocked out the chimney.. its ok it needed it :) there was a leak over the last .. oh FOUR years and it was a tad yukky! so it was beaten with a very large hammer and now its shiny and new.. and barely leaks at all ;) ok so it doesnt.. and no im not going to say YET I have faith in my husband.. and Houston.. :)

Its ok hes insured.. speaking of which I should call the home insurance company.. and work on that first aid kit!
