Final Touches

We have been busy finalizing things for our house. The builder is telling us he's expecting we can move in June 15th. Right now it's getting taped and textured inside. It's been nice being here to see the progress. I'll get photos of the house to post soon. Here's what we've picked out for the inside.


Big Sky Ash hardwood floor. It will be in the kitchen, dining room and living room downstairs.


Slate looking laminate for our mudd/laundry room which is off the garage.


Laminate flooring for the downstairs and upstairs bathroom.


Carpet that will begin at the bottom of the stairs. It will continue up to the bonus room and all three bedrooms.


Granite that will be used for our kitchen and master bath countertops.


Tile that will be used in the master bath. It will be on the floor and shower walls.

It Looks Like a House

As always my Uncle Greg has been great about sending us pictures. It's been nice to follow the progress on the house. It's actually looking like a house now!

Moving Along

The house is slowly moving along. They're saying it'll be done the beginning/middle of June. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

We Might Have a House After All

Update:
Yesterday the forms for the footings were done and they poured them. (That was done after these photos were taken.)




Original Post:


After the problem with our original lot, we've moved lots and work is underway again. These are pics from a couple of days ago. My uncle Greg lives in Bozeman and has been checking in on the progress for us. It's been so helpful to have him there. He's also great at taking/sending pictures to us. Today they set the footings and should be pouring the foundation within the next couple of days. Then the framing will begin. I asked if we'll be in the house by the end of June and was told yes. I said I could handle that, if it's later I might have a minor meltdown. I'm not going to stress about it and I'll just have faith it'll be done in June.

Will We Ever Have a House?

I think I'd mentioned in a previous post that we're building a house in Bozeman, MT. I went up to Bozeman the beginning of February to pick out everything for the inside (flooring, cabinets, paint colors, light fixtures and so on). It was overwhelming but also fun. It would have helped if Ken would have been there to give his opinion. He'll just have to trust me. After anxiously awaiting the building to begin, ground was broke this week. We've been told the latest we should be in is the end of June. Just when it looked like things were underway, we got bad news. There are mailboxes for part of the neighborhood on our lot. We were told they would be moved but found out this week they will not move them. So we now have to change lots, which means the architect has to redraw our site plan, and the city has to approve the new plans. What the heck?! This is not what a VERY pregnant lady should have to deal with. I'm actually scared to ask how much this will put is back time wise. I don't even want to know. We do have a plan of what we're going to do when Ken gets back though (which is now in less than 4 wks!). We're going to stay in Baker the month of April. It'll give us a chance to get settled in with the new baby. We found a fully furnished house to rent for the month of May in Bozeman. http://bozemancottage.com/Peach.House.htm We will probably go to Libby the first 2 wks in June to spend time with family there. Then we were hoping to move into our new house mid-June. Who knows what will happen now.

Here's pictures of what was supposed to be our future house. I'm just hoping the rest of the process will go smoothly.
