TGIF Update

The siding is on and they're getting ready to paint! The garage will match the house, with the garage door and man door facing the house painted red to match our windows. I plan to paint the back doors on our house the same red, and then I'd like a new wood-look front door at some point.
A couple days ago they had a dozer come down to smooth all the dirt dug up. It looks SO much better, and they were even able to pull up a huge stump that was going to be a huge pain.

Tuesday Update

It's a bright, sunny day in Nashville.

The team is hard at work on the garage. They're putting up the hardy board siding, it's going to look awesome. On the right you can see the line where the electrician is planning to dig the trench for the wiring and the phone wire to extend our alarm (bonus).
Here's the line next to the house, where our electrical box is located.

Belle is enjoying the sun shine!

Wrapping It Up

This was taken last night. It's looking good! The framing inspection should happen by the end of this week and then it's on to the rest. Jon and I will shop this weekend for the lights, which is pretty exciting, and the electrician will pull his permit next week. We're moving along!

Raise the roof!

Let there be walls!

The walls started going up Friday. When they first started I was a little worried it wasn't large enough (even though we'd mapped it out and knew it was), but now with the walls up it's plenty big and we're so excited! The first photo shows the view from the alley, the way we'll pull into the garage. The second photo shows the view from our house, with a smaller garage door and a walk through door. Jon's going to use flagstones to make a walkway from the house to the garage.

Concrete!

Isn't it beautiful? :)
