OUR NEW HOUSE

For those of you who have been waiting it is finally here...a post of our new house! I wanted to wait until the rooms were clean, but realized with school starting up that may not happen for months. So with that in mind please ignore our mess! Here are the stats: 3 bed with an office; 2 1/2 bath (well technically the master is a 3/4 since it doesn't have a bathtub, but you get the idea); 2100 sq ft or so; full unfinished walk out basement; oversized garage; 400 sq ft covered deck. There are also some cool green features: bamboo flooring, concrete counters, on demand water heater, hvac with heat pump. Now for the tour.

Family Room














Dining














Kitchen














Master bedroom/master closet: What I love most about this room is the space. I have my office there, a love seat, and a spacious closet and bathroom!


















Master bathroom


















C's bedroom














H's bedroom


















Kids bath



















Office: No photo available at this time...J was shirtless in his office, so he vetoed a photo. I know you are all bummed out - sorry!
Covered deck (the favorite family feature of the house)/View off the deck (which is somewhat covered by the houses, but it is still there!
Garage (notice we can fit our two monster vehicles in!)







Basement














Backyard/Back view of house














That's the tour. Hope you enjoyed it. Super house J built for us. Can't wait until all the little details are complete!
Slightly unrelated: Here is the pile of boxes we have already unpacked in the basement. I can tell you it is bigger than it looks.
This is a plant growing in our backyard - we kind of like it, but I am not sure if it is one that will destroy everything else. Anyone know what it is?
**Sorry about formatting issues, can't seem to get all the words where I want them today! Ughh blogger stinks sometimes.

It has really come together. Great job, John, and your house doesn't look like a trailer on steroids!!! I hope you will be very happy there, and have many visitors!!(like me) I think the downstairs boxes look like days and days of play in the winter for C and H building houses, and forts and mazes and towns!! Good luck!! Nana
