House Update #14

Well after another busy house week...well I haven't been busy with the house but someone (Daryn) has been. And its definitely showing some significant progress....here is what we have now that we didn't have a week ago:
1. A septic tank...very important for a family that plans to use plumbing..its basically the equivalent of a sewer if you live in the city..except we don't have to pay for it monthly. There are definitely some advantages to living in the country. No water bill either because we have our own water well.

2. A culvert....Daryn made sure it was extra wide (about 20 feet) so that I don't 'fall off'. Evidently my wonderful husband made that request because I came close to falling off our culvert in Conroe (just a personal note from ME...the culvert in Conroe was about 5 ft wide and I drive an 8ft wide TAHOE!..and I was NOT the one that almost fell off the culvert...that would be his friends and family) Thanks Daryn!
3. A GARAGE DOOR! These guys came in from New Braunsfels and were SUPER QUICK!
4. And we have the trim work (doors/baseboards/molding/stair rail) the house actually looks like the inside of a house now...amazing!5. And Daryn has informed me that he thinks we favor Wesley because Wesley got this custom built-in dresser inside his walk in closet and Miss Kate did not get one. My rebuttal: Kate's room is MUCH bigger than Wesley's room so not so much a need to save space in her room...AND Kate got brand new big girl furniture when she was 3. So she has a brand new chest of drawers...no need to duplicate. Everyone knows I love my Kate! :)

What's next? Friday the exterior trim gets painted as well as interior (cross my fingers that the colors look good). Then next Wednesday the cabinets go in and tile may start after cabinets.

Exciting stuff! Thanks for sharing in this very fun time with us!
