It has been a couple of weeks since we last posted. It was fun to look back at the last posting and see how much has been done on our house since then. Below is a picture of the front of the house. The stucco has been finished for sometime now and the rock is now completed. The soffit under between the roof and the walls and under the porch is also in. The color of the stucco is cotton, which is a yellowish cream with a white on the trim. I am not sure if the colors are clear in this picture. The color is a little better in this picture of the garage. On the north driveway, there is a garbage dumster. Both gargage doors were installed last Thursday.

Mom, also wanted to have our address placed on the front of our house in the stone, like newer houses on the ridge above Alta Canyon Rec. Center. Below is her wish in place.

Another thing, Mom wanted was a new mail box. Originally, it was going to be stucco to match the house, but there was enough rock left over so they used this rock on the mailbox. They still need to place a top on it. It is a little bigger than I wanted, so I call it our grave stone marker.

Here is another picture of the mailbox with the house in the background. You can tell that she likes it enough to take two pictures of it.

Now for inside. This is a picture into the master bedroom from the hallway. You can see that the walls are painted a light green color.

Below is a picture of the side of the first closest inside the great room/kitchen area. We had a cabinet made that is on the side of this first closest by the back door that has small shelves in it for shoes or whatever.

Our kitchen cabinets were install last Monday. Below is a picture of the island. This picture shows the tile that is on the floor in the kitchen, hallways and part of the great room.

Below is a picture of the cabinets along the east wall where the sink will be. It will be in a similar position as our old sink just without a window.

The west wall of the kitchen is shown below. To the left is the space for the refridgerator. On the far right, is the opening where the double ovens will be place. Next to this, is the opening for the microwave that will be over the gas cook top.

This a picture of the new living room taken from the hallway by the front door. In the back, you can see part of the french doors leading out to the south side of the wrap around porch. Just as you enter the front room, there are half walls on each side of the entrance. This room has been painted with the new colors.
This is a close up of one of the half walls. There will be shelfs under the top counter.

To the right is a picture of the new linen closests where the coat closets used to be in the hallway.

Below to the right is a picture of the gas fireplace that is in the northwest corner of the great room. One of the french doors going out into the backyard can be seen in this picture.

The last pictures are of the interior of the garage. You can see the texture that we are having the garage walls finish with.

Below is a picture of the northwest part of the garage (the new section). The used this location to paint some of the new doors. As you can see, there are a lot of doors.

Finally, a picture of the basement room where we have been living in or confined to during the construction. We are looking forward to the day when we can move back upstairs.
