NEW AUNTIE!!!

I'M GONNA BE AN AUNT again. We have a niece and a nephew and as of right now my sister :) Laurel and Dan are at the hospital as we speak. Baby Louis is on his way!!! I am so excited and want to be there!! I can't wait to see him and hold him and smother him in kisses. !!! ON the house side of things well..... our insulators showed up today and said they would be done by Friday. Looking good so far. I shot a couple of pictures last night after a storm blew through, thought it was neat. I love where we live and even though it's windy I Love Wyoming and the beautiful skies. I couldn't ask for a better place to live!! Enjoy!!! (had to throw the backhoe in there for eric :)

Stucco and Roof down... BUT A WHOLE LOT MORE TO GO!!!

We would like to say we are over it....

We knew it would be stressful but..... it never ends!!! :) ON the bright side- the stucco guys have pretty much finished the house except the back (because of the roofers)

It has been almost a month and a half since the shingles have been sitting on our roof still in the package. Long story there though and many stressful conversations. So I won't go into that too much. :)  And the windows well- the bathroom one broke and then we just noticed that something hit another window in the kitchen and it broke.  UGH!!! On the bright side again we got our big window that they goofed on and our door should be here tomorrow. Anyway....here are some pictures.

Windows and stucco and doors OH MY!!!!

Well after weeks of waiting and lets just say some stressful conversations with certain companies and contractors, our windows came and the shingles are getting put on. Three weeks ago they came out loaded the shingles on the roof and left two weeks later they show up and barely get 1/f of the back of the roof done. Still haven't been back. As for the windows we went the rounds and went to get them on Thrusday because they called us Monday saying they were ready for pick up Tuesday and then had to wait 3 hours for them to finish one window!! Seriously we knew it would be stressful .... and it all has begun. The stucco guy has been GREAT!!!! He has been waiting for the roofers to get going and the windows and doors to get here. Our front door was damaged in shipping and won't get here until next month-went the rounds with HD- :) Enough said. But I am grateful our windows are here with a few minor things that need fixed, but are fixable and the stucco is on its way next week as well as the roof!!!

Wyoming wind can't bring them down!

The framer's have been hard at work and keep on working through that blistering wind on top of the roof!!! They said it will be done by Friday... they have been super fast but we still might be running on contractor time. :) They might be the ones to prove that statement wrong.!

These guys are super fast it is crazy and they seriously have been working sun up to sun down no lie!!!! They made it look like a house in 3 days. They just have the trusses left and the roof to put on.

AND SO IT BEGINS!!!!!!

Last week we were told that it wouldn't be until April 14 that the framers could come and start our house then on Friday afternoon we got a call and long behold... "Framers will be there Monday" Holy crap we felt like we were scrambling to get things together and we thought we were ready for it all. We really are though but it is crazy how fast things change. Lumber started showing up on Saturday. Everyone is telling us to not make deadlines when you build a house and to expect contractors to be late. Lucky these guys showed up on Monday and Tuesday at noon they had the first floor done and all the joists up. Then when I came home from work they had the outside finished on the first floor. It has gone up so fast!!! Right now they have the inside framed out on the first floor and are working on the second level. Here are some pictures to keep you updated.
