June 2016
Raising all the trusses was QUITE a project, requiring a lot of man power
The pictures don't show the makeshift stairs well that went along with this message.....
Lighting!!
SO MUCH RAIN in June.....the boys loved it.
July 2016 - so much finishing work!

| the elk wall, pre-rock |
 |
| one of the building crew brought these for me one day |
 |
| cabinet & countertop color decisions on a sink that ended up getting exchanged for another color!! |
Instead of buying a chimney pot in a terra cotta color, we were lucky to have a friend and local pottery maker build the top of our outdoor fireplace. He brought it out in pieces and they assembled it on top.
Kitchen cabinets coming together!
 |
| these are the faces of our tall pantry cabinets - I remember thinking they were WAY too big! |
The only paint color I wasn't happy with was the master suite. So in came more samples....
And those got narrowed down to 3.....
Ahhhh....much better color than the "greige" which was actually pinkish-purple
Here's a couple good shots of the old color vs the new:

| I miss getting these photos from Eric throughout the day |
August 2016
Gillett putting the yard together and finishing dirt work!
Getting a driveway was magical!
I found a range hood on pinterest/etsy that I liked, so Eric built our own version for us!

| kitchen island in process |
 |
| many thanks to this guy!! |
 |
| actual countertop we ended up choosing |
 |
| choosing backsplash |
 |
| mudroom cubbies |
Another really cool element, sliding barn doors fabricated from actual barn wood from the family farm (same for the range hood).
I bought this vanity and repainted it for the master bath.
 |
| it's not Sonic ice, but the ice machine makes some pretty cute little squares |
 |
| finally, the front porch stamped concrete was pressure washed and pretty again |
The powder room was another Pinterest idea made reality. Drew picked up the barrel in Omaha on the way back from trip north, and Eric converted it into a sink.
.....Fall wrap up coming soon......
