lights and trim

Well, I havent posted too much in the past few weeks because there weren't too many exciting pictures. The siding is coming along nicely, they are working on the front and then have one side left to do. The correct windows are in, some doors are hung, some trim is up and we noticed some lights in the basement! Here are some pictures. Also, in case anyone is wondering... we do not know when it will be done...hopefully sometime at the end of April.

the past few week....

last saturday we met with the kitchen cabinet guy. We picked out the cabinets for the kitchen and bathrooms. All wood finish, cherry for the kitchen and hickory for the bathrooms. We picked most of the tile for the bathrooms, and all the paint colors.
The siding has started to go up in the past few weeks. We chose James Hardie Siding for our house. It is fiber cement siding. Why Hardie? Well check this out!
