Our new house!

A couple weeks ago Kyle, Juliana, and I went up to the school to look at the progress made on our new house.  Kyle had seen it somewhat recently, but this was the first time that I had been up in a couple months.  It actually looks like a house!  

This is the back side of the house; we'd have the right side (the part that's slightly lower).    There will be a patio on the back side (where the pillars are) with patio doors walking into the living room/dining room area.  The lower level also has a kitchen with pantry, 1/2 bathroom, and laundry room.  The 2nd floor with have 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an open area at the top of the steps for an office and maybe a smaller living room or play area or something.

This is the front side of the house (ours is the left side).  You can also see the water tower that they built in the background.  They've also dug a sewer system and have started digging the foundation of a 2nd building (that will have 4 apartments with 2 bedrooms each).

It's a little hard (exhausting) for me to get up there with Juliana, so I haven't been back since, but they were supposed to start on the 2nd floor last week.  Before we left for the summer we had been told they would start work immediately and have it done around Christmas.  There were some additional problems with the permits, so work didn't really start till August.  If I heard correctly, the builders are still being told the Christmas deadline, with the actual deadline being Easter.
