You see Charley & Jackie's house on the left. Then the piece that is their new family room on the lower level and our guest room on the upper level back.
The front porch - and the view is as fantastic as we had imagined it to be. We are so excited to get finished so we can have friends come and share with us. I'll let you know when we can start scheduling visits. I was hoping for January, but I don't see that will happen. The lower level is another guest room, a canning kitchen/mud room, and Bob's woodworking shop.
This is the front door and garage. I can't believe these guys walking and running around on the roof.
The step before the shingles was getting the framing all done. They were a wonderful bunch of guys to have around for several weeks. Steve Beachey and his crew. Their final step was putting the decking on the roof. Again, the steepness and how they moved around was amazing.
Last Saturday we had a family Thanksgiving dinner with Wilma, Wendell and Amy, Darin, Holly and the kids, Josh, Rachelle and kids, Charley, Jackie, J, us and Jackie's parents Claude and Sallie. 19 of us. I can't believe we didn't think to take a picture. I did however, get a picture of the kids playing out on the dirt pile. They had a wonderful time.
When we moved here (in our temporary apartment), we asked Charley about parking. Those of you from Wheaton know that there is no street parking overnight. He just said that we didn't need to worry about that. We live on a cul-de-sac and this is how our neighbor handles having 4 cars most nights. Just park 2-deep at the curb.
And then to end on a very special note. Josh and Rachelle had family pictures taken now that they are 5. Aren't they a beautiful family?!
A busy but wonderful few weeks here in the Bluegrass!
