View from the screened porch. This is Kolby's place to hang out and read and enjoy the view!

We have seen many hawks flying around the property and even an owl so we're excited to see such great wildlife sharing our space.

Looking from the back porch toward the screened porch. We hope to have a fire pit in this area so we can sit around and talk about the day and enjoy the nice evenings together.

View from the family room looking back toward the kitchen. You see the large curved bar in the foreground and the cutout for the cooktop which will be stone from top to bottom.
Awesome area for lots of conversation and hanging out! Two bedrooms are off to the left and laundry, pantry and small bath are down the hallway to the right that leads to the carport.

Dinning room where there will be lots of game playing and great food! I'm not sure who's in charge of the great food but surely someone will step up! The back porch is to the right and the screened porch is to the left.

Standing in the kitchen looking into the family room. Picture a big screen TV hanging above the fireplace! Awesome! The fireplace will be stone from top to bottom to match the cooktop area in the kitchen. The master bedroom is to the left and another bedroom is to the right.

After 3 weeks of rain and wind we finally have the tin roof on and things have begun to dry out some. We are all very excited about the progress and are looking forward to the great memories we will make here as a family, extended family and friends. Things will move pretty fast from here in some ways and slower in others. As you can see the drywall is up, tape and bed and texture. The trim guys will start this week and the cabinets will start being installed this week as well. We're still working on countertops, flooring, stone and paint, but things are moving right along. We're hoping to have an open house during the Labor Day holiday so mark that on your calendar. More on that later. Hope everyone enjoys the new pics and hopefully as things change I'll keep the pics coming.
