House Pictures

We are in to building up to our ears now! It seems like everyday I'm making some sort of call or email about the house and we go up to see it at least twice a week. They have framed the entire house, put in plumbing, electrical wiring, windows, and the roof.  Doors and insulation and dry wall will come in the next week or two. We have picked out all of our house options and are just watching this place go up faster than we can keep up with it! Here are some of the recent pictures we've taken. I'll try to make sense of them as we go:

This is from the top floor but it is our entry way stairs. You walk in the front door and these stairs are right there. They are open to the second floor.

 This is a view from the Family Room, looking into the Dining Nook and Kitchen. It'll be easier to visualize when the dry wall  is in.

 This is the most recent picture of our house.  (We just went up today to walk through) The roof shingles are done, they've installed all the windows, most of the electrical, and the plumbing.

 This is from the back corner of the lot looking on the back side of the house

 This is an older picture of the house (before the roof and windows), but a good full front shot.

 This is the view from our house into the back yard. There's another house going up back there at the same time. I told our builder that they should race to see who could finish first and he said that we're going to smoke them :).  We have a beautiful view of the Wasatch mountains and all the lots behind our house are for sale. (so, family, come on and join us!!) We do have neighbors right next to us, just not behind. Wide open spaces!

 This is a view of our family room. Cami and I are standing next the where the fireplace is located. They actually have it there behind the box.

 This is the formal dining room. They are putting the arch to separate the living room from the dining room.

 This is the office. When you walk through the front door the office is located on the left. We're putting in double doors there with the intention of installing glass french doors later. (too expensive right now)

 This is the view from our front yard. (minus the porto-potty. A lot of them are called Honey Buckets out here in UT and I HATE that.) It's a beautiful view too. The Great Salt Lake is only a few miles away. We are close to the bird refuge and Farmington Bay of the Salt Lake. All of the lots across from us are sold, but no houses yet.

 Here's Cami all bundled up and happy about her new house. (Kim, I really do bring a coat and hat for her! :)

 I'm not quite sure which room this is, but I think we're in one of the bedrooms looking into the Bonus room (which is really just a larger bedroom, but will be a great play space for kids) This is also before the roof so it wasn't dried out from the snow. It's all dried out now luckily!

We'll send more pictures as it progresses. They started in Mid December and here we are a month later with a fully framed house. We think we'll be in it more around the middle of March or first of April. Hopefully sooner! We are so excited/nervous/anxious to get into it!
