It's Now What We Picked

Saturday was kind of a fun and special day for Chris and I.  We went to Springville to check on the house and we had a pleasant and amazing surprise.  The outside of our house was beginning to be put up!  Hooray!!  We are now able to see our personal touches and what we picked come into play.  That has been something that we have been waiting for for a very long time.  

Only the back had work done to it so far.

On the inside of the house they had done quite a bit of work as well.  The walls and ceilings have the texture done and the corners have been rounded off.  They also have some prep work done where we are going to have tile in our house.  It may not sound like a lot, but there had been a lot of work done.

We love the texture on the walls.

The black on the floor is the prep work for the tile.

We were very pleased with the progress that was happening and couldn't wait for this week to start so that we could see the finished product on the outside.  We decided to go again on Sunday to see how much work they got done on Saturday.  Remember, when Chris and I went at about 2:00 on Saturday afternoon, just the back had been completely finished, and they were starting on the garage side of the house.  And this is what we saw when we pulled up.

Almost the whole house (minus the rock) is done.

It was such a great surprise to see what they were able to accomplish in not a lot of time.  The outside of the house is almost finished.  They still have some trim to put up around the garage and the front windows.  The white exposed above the door will be yellow as well.  They also need to finish our porch and the rock.  We are guessing that they will finish most of that today.  But it depends on when they get the rock in, and if the temperatures need to be higher than what they currently are.  But during all of this, they will also have people working on the inside as well.  The Edge elves seem to get everything done at a record pace.  We'll see what they end up accomplishing this week.
