    Check it out! It actually looks like a house, a house without a roof but a house nonetheless. Building Progress!!! :  wedding IMAG0397

    Awesome! What's the protective sheeting for? I love seeing how the process goes for each house.

    @jaguar: It's basically a weather resistant barrier to help protect the wood.

     @MissGreen: We are building with M/I! How was your building process with Wayne?

    Good news y'all!!! We got a roof! I kind of wanted to high five those guys up there but that would have required some climbing.

    @MrsDibs:

    Yea!! That's awesome! I will say depending on contractors and such from this point the average time to completion is roughly 60 days so you could definetly be in around December. We broke ground August 10 and closed and moved in November 6. To answer your previous post we had an awesome experience with Wayne Homes just wish we knew some things then that we do now in regards to things we wanted, designs, layout etc.

    @MissGreen: That's about the time line our contractor is giving us. I'm really hoping that he is right and all goes smoothly because I would love to be in before Christmas, talk about a wonderful gift! I'm glad you had a good experience, I have heard a lot of good things about Wayne! I worry about things like the design and layout we picked not working as well once we move in, is that similar to what you experienced/are experiencing?

    Hey bees, I just need to vent a little. We had a little bit of a set back happened yesterday, apparently someone broke in and stripped the entire house of wire. Our contractor said it's not that big of a deal but I'm still upset about it. Blah.

    ***UPDATE***

    Siding is going up and so is drywall. I also think they are going to put in the front walk and driveway before it gets to cold (at least by the look of the dirt in the first picture.) Our contractor says we are going to be in by the end of the year! Merry Christmas to us! Have a look:

    ***Update***

    Good news! The dry wall guys are wrapping things up hopefully tomorrow, our cabinets, doors, and trim has been delivered and is sitting in our garage! I'm so excited, it is going to fast now that we are out of framing! Oh and on the outside our siding is almost complete, our front walk and part of our drive way is poured. See below.
