We made a few changes to make it ours, and we are so excited to watch the process! There was only one closet so we tweeted that, we added 18 inches in the master bedroom/eating area off the back of the house, a full bathroom in the garage, a large pantry for all the canning to be in one place (hallelujah!), shortened the garage from a 3 car to two car, eliminated a few windows, If we are in by Christmas I will be thrilled!!
June 1st our slab was completely finished and ready to start with the framing! Lumber was also delivered and then the rain came and poured that night.
Framing started June 6th...
June 7th - The Golding's all came out to check out the progress :)
My two fearless men.
Checking out the plans.
Tucker decided it would be fun to shimmy up those boards on the side of the house but then realized he would have to get down....daddy to the rescue.
June 9th - They had completed framing downstairs and the boys are standing in their rooms - they were getting pretty excited!
June 13th - It's starting to look like a house! Mr Mike came out and helped Jonathan figure out where they are going to place our HVAC units and where it will all be piped. It's starting to feel real now!
Standing above the boy's rooms upstairs and deciding where to put the upstairs unit...
Jonathan decided it's the perfect spot to shoot deer from...Just kidding! He will be in a real deer stand...
View of the garage - this is where we will actually pull up to each time we come home.
Bones of the front coming along!
June 15th - They completely finished closing it in. We have walls around the outside of the house! What?? Seemed so fast!

Den and kitchen area
Bathroom in garage
My kitchen - it's L shaped and I'll have an island...
Bonus Room - won't be finished before we move in, but hopefully not too long after we can conquer this room.
Papaw let Tucker stand on roof outside his room. Makes me a nervous wreck.
Fireplace all the way up...
Boys being daddy's big helper cleaning everything up on Saturday (June 18th)
Jonathan writing our scriptures we picked out around the house. - Great Father's Day project - June 19th!
Windows and a few doors have officially arrived and ready to be put in.
View from Master bedroom into master bathroom
They started on the wrapping (for pre-brick) and put down felt for the roof June 20th
June 23rd - Start of the well being put in. They broke something on their truck while trying to dig, so they had to wait and finish the next day, but we saw them working on it. Boys loved watching them.
Saturday, June 25th, they completed the wrapping yesterday, windows and doors are in, and all the felt is on the roof, ready for shingles!
This is the bonus area upstairs, you can see Jonathan and Jace standing in Tucker's future room.
Checking out the view from the roof, of course.
Tired boy getting a break from cleaning up outside and cooling off - June 25th.
Monday, June 27th - we had a crew of men working this week to get in our units, and run all the duct work for our heat/air. Jonathan works for his dad and that is what they do for a living, so it only makes sense that we would do our own. My job has been to feed everyone. You can see it rained Monday, so my dad met me at the car and carried in the pizzas for me. Our crew has varied a bit each day, but it has been Jonathan, Mr. Mike, my dad, Jonathan's brother, David, Andrew Mathis, Tim Pearson has also helped this weekend, and of course Tucker and Jace :). They have worked TIRELESSLY all week - working a minimum of about 5-8 hours each night. I know they are all exhausted. So thankful for their commitment to get this duct work completed before baby Wyatt makes his appearance.
Tucker working hard...
Running hard duct in the attic
Papaw and Andrew getting things ready...
Tucker taking advantage of the fan while the guys are working. The plumbers are almost completely finished roughing everything in, and our tubs have been installed! The electrician has started running wires and hopefully they will be done by next week so we can pick out lights before Wyatt arrives!
We are going on a month and a half of progress (two weeks we were held up because of rain), and I feel like a whole lot of progress has been made! Excited to see when we actually make it in the house. They told us 3-4 months tops, that would be May 15th starting and September 15th moving in....I'm not holding my breath, but it's definitely chugging along!
