Sod, Landscaping, Guttering and Lighting

North Side of the House

Yes one of the windows does not have shutters, but will shortly

East side of the house and our main entry

Okay you are really going to have to look closely to see the guttering, but trust me its there all the way around the house. Its the first time EVER I've had my house completely wrappeding wonderful guttering and it matches the trim on the house cool uh!

Our builder bless his heart didn't tell us he took out the sod when he priced the contract price to us so we thought we had at least a little bit of a budget for sod, like I said or so we thought. We put down 10,000 square feet of sod and it still didn't completed cover all the bare soil.

The good part is we did have a landscaping budget which you can see its not bad we like it. We opted to buy the big trees, Katie and I can alway put in scrubery (bushes) next year. Oh I forgot we also have a sprinkler system I love it or at least I do for now. Take a look see the house is almost move in ready!

Kitchen

Here are a couple of pictures of the kitchen with the countertops installed, backsplash grouted in and the lighting completed, I must say Katie did an excellent job picking out colors, textures, stain, paint, etc.

Lighting

My office

Gallary Sconces

Entry Way Light

Living/Family Room Ceiling Fan

Master Bedroom Ceiling Fan

Well its been a while since my last post and alot has happened. One of those things is all the lights have been installed and look great. Well most of the lights look great, our utility room otherwise known as the laundry room does have a great looking fixture however its very dark so I call it the cave. If you happen to the in the neighborhood stop by and see for yourself. Here are some pictures of other lighting.

Master Bath/Main Bath/Laundry Room CounterTops

The granite theme continues through the house, we love the color of this look. We were also surprised to find out granite is just as cheap or cheaper than alot of other materials. But the main thing is it all fit in our budget, now that's important!

Counter Tops Kitchen/Bar

Katie made an excellent choice when she picked out this coutertop, take a look and see what you think!!!!! Ithink they look great but I'm sure that is what you expected.

Driveway

Hi everyone its been a while since I posted anything. Alot has happend since my last post. Katie and I are getting excited about our new house and look forward to bring our daughters families home for Christmas, but before that happens a few more things have to be installed. One last big project outside is the driveway. Well they poured that about a week ago here are a few pic's.

Sidewalk, Garage Approach, and Driveway

Well it finally beginning to really look like a home, we are excited about the driveway and what it brings to the house. I couldn't be happier with the way its turning out, Katie is the genius behind this one and yes the curved sidewalk was her idea also. I see a game of basketball sometime in the future with my son-in-laws....
