Yes, I'm excited... it's been a whole week and we now have WALLS inside the house! It's really looking more and more like a house that will be ready to live in soon! When we arrived this afternoon we saw two cars in front of the house and we were pleasantly surprised to see two workers there taping along the drywall lines in the master bedroom and bathroom. Plus we saw a nice surprise in the garage when we got there... you'll see that in the pictures below. Jeremy brought it to my attention while we were there that the geothermal loops were put in, too. I was so busy walking through our house- looking at the walls- that I didn't think to look outside- and I couldn't tell when we drove in that any digging had been done. But, looking out the laundry room and bathroom windows I could tell. The loops had been put in and the system brought into the basement. Now it just needs to be all hooked together and turned on!
Here are some pictures from today's trip:

Look! There are garage doors in the garage now!! THAT was a nice surprise when we arrived!

This is a picture of Megan's room. She wasn't real thrilled when we walked in there- she had just woken up from a nap on the way up there- but the rest of us were!

Here's a view of the kids' bathroom. Since there is no light in there, I couldn't even see anything until I looked at the picture once it was taken with the flash!!

Here's a view of the entry way and the entrance into the study. I like it because it's nice and open- not narrow and hard to get through- and it lead right into the living room.

I took this picture standing right behind the front door. You can see into the study and kitchen looking toward your 1:00 position, and you can see the dining room bay window just up from that... cool!

Here's another view from the front door- looking directly into the living room. The light on the scaffolding was a lot brighter when I was looking through the camera- but I'm glad it only showed up the way it did because you wouldn't have been able to really see the living room otherwise. I love the fact that you can see the outdoors so clearly even from the front door!

Here's another view of the living room. This one was taken from the dining room area. There is a built-in shelf area on the left, near the scaffolding, that will be a nice area to display some pictures and store some finished scrapbooking albums!

Here is a view of the master bathroom shower. Now that the walls are up the bathroom doesn't seem to dauntingly big anymore! LOL- it's just right! The master bedroom closet, on the other hand, seems bigger!

I took this picture of the master bedroom from the bathroom doorway. As you can see, there is still no window on that one side. I am hoping it arrives this coming week along with the railing for the back patio and the pillars for the front porch. Then they can be installed and the siding can be completed on the back of the house. That would wrap up the outside work on the house, too! Then all the work will be inside! If things go as we were told, we could be moving by mid-January 2009! Guess we'll see! So, until next week, take care- and don't forget to check back next week!
