Windows and tour upstairs.

Windows went in last week.  Pretty plain windows, but they are making it look more like a real house.  They are Low-E windows, filled with Argon gas.  Suppose to be better for energy efficiency, some how.



This was suppose to be a garden window, not a box window.  Hopefully its not too expensive to change it out, and I am really hoping we don't have to pay for their mistake.  This was very plain on the plans and he did it this way, we didn't decide to change it afterwards.

The chimney, which I actually thought was going to be taller, but oh well.



The back of the house.

Now lets go upstairs...


This is Grace and Claire's room.  It is in the back.  It is the best picture I could get, but it is much bigger than it looks in this picture.  Their closed is huge too.  I'm sure once they are teens it will not be big enough, but nothing probably will be.


Andrew's room.  Opposite the girls' rooms, so it is in the front of the house.




The kids bathroom.  It is a 'Jack-and -Jill' bath.  Not huge, but it is good size.

The play room.  To the left is an office and a storage room.  This area is above the garage.

This area is, well, our shower.  We took the tub out of the original plan and just made the shower bigger and ummm, its big.  In fact it is huge!  It is the size of the kids full bathroom in our trailer now.  As our friend Tami likes to call it, it is a 'Party Shower'.  It is probably 2 times as big as I thought it was going to be but it will be good.


This is the best shot of our room.  In the corner is a small fireplace.



Then of course the kids had to play in the big pile of sand out front.  We enjoyed watching them from out front porch.  

It was getting late and Claire was more than ready to get home and go to bed.  Sally accompanied her most of the way home since she decided to go by herself.

  1. Looking good! Will the play room potentially be a room for one of the girls once they get bigger? Making progress and looking forward to the changes ahead!

  2. No, that will stay the playroom, hangout room, media room. It will morph as they get bigger.
