Happy New Year! 2009? Wow!

Well, this is the year -- we will certainly be completing the house this year!

Forgot to put the camera in the van this morning, so pictures will have to wait until tomorrow...

Here are a few of the things we have gotten done the last two days...

  • Siding on the front of the house is done -- except the front of the porch gable.
  • Some of the trim covering the deck and porch headers is up.
  • We had the phone line put in and I have run that into the house now -- DSL, 2 satellite cables and an extra CAT5 cable...
  • Built a temporary shelf for the DSL modem, router, and power strip.
Not a whole lot, but we are getting ready to really start moving...

Hopefully, this will only be another two months, but stay tuned...  As a first time builder, I'd rather take my time and get things the way I want them rather than get done quickly, and then wish that I had done several things differently...  I'm sure we'll still wish we had done some things differently, but that would be even more true with a "real" general contractor!

Stay tuned for pictures tomorrow evening!
