You Asked Again...
Hey guys here are a few pics of the house construction. It is really moving along. But, we are excited, especially now that the house in Lexington has sold. Enjoy the pics!
Here you can see the brick has been finished. No, for the fifth time, it is not going to have a white front. The paint won't be finished until a couple of weeks before the closing date, which is February 25th.
This picture is the left side of the kitchen. You can see the granite hasn't been installed. The cut-out on the left is for the dishwasher and the cut-out on the right uppers is for hood over the cooktop range.
Here is the mission style mantle. It will be finished with a dark walnut stain and a stone-tiled inset and rise.
This is the garden tub in the master batchroom. The cabinets here are an espresso stain.
This is Beth again on deck 2 from the family room/breakfast nook on the back of the house. Beth loves hanging out on decks, as you can see!
The cabinets have been installed throughout the house. All of the cabinets in the kitchen, butler's pantry, and the guest bathroom are sundance maple with a chocolate stain.
This picture is the left side of the kitchen. You can see the granite hasn't been installed. The cut-out on the left is for the dishwasher and the cut-out on the right uppers is for hood over the cooktop range.
And here is the right side of the kitchen. The cut-out under the upper cabinet is obviously for the refrigerator and the cut out insert is for the oven/microwave stack.
Here are the cabinets in the butler's pantry (area between the kitchen and the formal dining room. Note the wine rack...who drinks wine, anyways? Beth reminds me it's for looks because we all know it makes her sneeze!

This is the garden tub in the master batchroom. The cabinets here are an espresso stain.
Here is Beth on deck 1. This deck is a courtyard between the living room and the family room and the door goes into the hall across from the formal dining room.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the pics. There were more, but it was taking forever for uploading and arranging them.
What about Jodie Meeks the other night? It was awesome seeing UK basketball history being made, even though it kept me up an hour and a half past my normal bedtime. In the words of one of my friends at work talking about Meeks, "I seen dat cat. He went smoove off!"
Catch you all later!

Looking good. That kitchen is huge. You'll need help breaking that in.

Well, since everyone was asking we decided we liked the white front...
I do believe breaking in that kitchen will be a two man job. When can you come help?
There is a snafu going on right now with the driveway. They just aren't making it big enough. Who has a big house and little driveway?

Now for a serious post. I like the brick. And the windows look great, looks like you have plenty.
I think Jodie Meeks is a stud...in college. I hope his deep range gets him an NBA career. Is it too much to hope for Meeks and Patterson to come back next year?
