Ch-ch-ch-changes........

Now I have to admit, these changes have happened over the course of a couple weeks, but since I haven't updated in a while I thought I'd just give you the Reader's Digest version. Nice, eh?


Here's our walkout basement. Doesn't look like much yet, but they are forming the poured cement walls.

Now it's starting to take a nice turn..........look at that smoooooooth cement floor! It's really not wet, although it looks like it. But it's sealed, so it's kinda shiny.


Just another view...........don't you *love* that big tree to the left? I do too!!!



Here's the approach to our garage. Don't worry...the excavator comes tomorrow to move the dirt around.




Here I am in my scrap room. You are going to have to work with me on this one. Picture it now....the Pink Flip Flop girls around the large table/desk in the center of the room (with great lighting above it, of course), two 6 foot closets at one end, counter top along one wall with cupboards above, and my two large cabinet/hutches. I hope I have enough storage! *wink*




A view from the back..........with stud walls.


Another view from the back.......this is the walk out.



And lastly, this will be my main floor. I know, not terribly exciting, but it will be shaping up soon!


Thanks for sharing my excitement with me! The last few were taken at dusk....but we had a soccer game and it got late. ;)

How exciting! Wish I were getting a new house! At our age,though, I guess we should be looking at condos, not houses! LOL!
