Great progress Kate! It's going to be a beautiful home.

. . . And another little added health bonus from this process - DH lost 25 pounds! He's hoping to shave off another 5 pounds before he has to go back to work.

Work?!!

:/

Here I was happy about being down over 8# after working my fingers to the bone & my legs to stumps, this summer!!

Any chance the masons dropped a dozen bricks in his work jeans rather than putting them all on the exterior of that Wonderful Home?! You know, a little "power walking (working)" for the poor guy . . .

How much fun you must be having!

Looking good! Brick exterior is a great idea. No maintenance there.

Looking at your progress got me itching for some action. Planning to get to HFH build this weekend for a little bit of fun. It's been a while, hope I remember to hit the right nails!

Wow, it's really coming together. Looks great! How exciting to get to build your own home. And good for your DH! No doubt he has been working very hard.

It's looking fantastic Kate! Brick siding and metal roof, very low maintenance indeed!

Thanks guys! I've been really happy with how it's turning out! Hoping to have a deck on by the one of today.

The roof is 98% done!! I couldn't wait for the other 2% to be finished to post the pic.

I have to go this weekend to pick out the granite for our countertops!

ETA: looks like I haven't posted a pic of the deck yet:

Ooh! Love that big deck!
