Carpet, appliances and the egress window!a

I couldn't do it, I tried, but I couldn't stop myself from checking on the house today!  I know I said I was going to wait until tomorrow, but, it was so beautiful out, and I love the drive to the new house, it's so peaceful, no traffic jams, no highway... ah I can't wait for that to be my commute every day!

I was happy to see more progress too, the brick is DONE, the egress window installed, the french drain replaced, carpet was being installed while I was there (so I could only get a pic of the stairs) and my APPLIANCES!!! AHHH!!  I was so pumped to see my new stove!!!  I am going to post a pic of my current kitchen next time... and you will see why I am so freaking excited to have this beauty.  I know it's not the GE Profile line, I now wish I would have upgraded to that, BUT it is stainless, it have 5 burners, and it's convection.... omg I can't wait to cook a big old ham or roast in that baby!  I'm also so exited to have a dishwasher again, I think it will prevent 99.9% of the fights I have with my husband :)

So, without further delay, here are the pics from today!

    1. I'm so excited to have a real stove again, I don't cook in my apt. now a lot b/c of my stove, I think I'm going to do a post this weekend of the tour of our rental just to put things into perspective of what we sacrificed to be where we are now, I would love to take my apt. stove and take it out into a field like in the movie office space and just beat it with a baseball bat! LOL

  8. Rachel, would love to see apt tour!! It definitely puts things in perspective that helps with having patience throughout your build! I drive by our old place and think nothing of it except I am so glad we are out! It was a temp location to get the house!
