we do get siding...

Kenny, known as Darrell, has just finished laying brick for the day....that is why he looks so happy!

another name change, this is Jeremy, but they call him Billy---another of the brick masons. (Don' t you wonder if anyone goes by their given name?)

we have changed our minds on something---for the thousandth time.  The fireplace facing has changed, again....hope to have a better photo soon.

Yes!  Siding....

Oops, he's not so lonely after all; his friend is sitting on the island.

We received a final plan of what will happen day by day from Sue at Griffin Builders.  Everything is happening quickly now and that is so exciting---light fixtures, mirrors and finished plumbing, the island counter top will be delivered, the central vac will go in, the brick work will be finished, as will the siding, the garage floor will be poured, the final doors will be hung, the fireplace surround will be finished, the carpeting will be installed, the hard wood floors will get their final finish, and the kitchen backsplash will be installed along with the appliances.

It has been a year this month that we started on this amazing journey.  We will admit that, at times, we wondered if it would all come together.  There were certainly periods of uncertainty and delays when it came to selling our current home.  But, once that was all worked out, we got the Griffin family involved and it has been a great experience working with each of them and their team. We feel so fortunate to be able to complete this project and their guidance has helped us in so many ways.  Thank you.
