Stone - The Final Chapter

Chris and I were able to get out to the house tonight before dark.  I guess it helped that it's staying light later and that it was finally Friday of a long week.  It's fun to look back at the pictures throughout the process so far.  At times it feels like we're moving at a snail's pace but looking back at the pictures of the past two weeks.

Here are some pictures from tonight:

The majority of the roof is up and quite a bit of the framing is done.  Depending on the weather they have less than 2 weeks left on the framing.

The porch is just starting to get built.

Here I'm taking a closer look at the front porch

I know it wasn't that cold today but I just don't have very warm blood.  i'm standing in the unfinished bonus room.

I'm very excited to report that I've been able to play detective the past two days on our stone.  We've been working on our stone selecetion for quite some time but haven't been very successful.  I finally took matters into my own hands as I was tired of looking at samples that weren't what we wanted.  I just couldn't understand why with several pictures and an actual address for a home built in Blaine in the past several years it would be so hard to find this stone.  Well it wasn't that hard but I don't think anyone who was "working for us" even tried.  Below is the picture of the stone that we'd like to use on some of our house.

So..our journey continues early tomorrow morning to try to finish the stone selection process once and for all.
