What Is It, What The Heck Is It?

So, I got home from work yesterday and Mike greets me with, “Babe, I don’t think you are going to like the chimney.” So what do I do, I jump in the car and drive straight up to see what in the heck he is talking about! Much to my surprise it looked like someone had built an “Outhouse” for lack of a better term, on the back side of our house (see attached picture). It was awful! So I panicked all night about it, then the next morning Mike went up to the house and told Chuck that I really didn’t like the outhouse look and asked if anything else could be done. Chuck thought this was pretty darn funny and said that it is what it is. So I stopped out this morning on my way to work to drop off donuts and there is Chuck, up on the roof fixing it up! It looks 100X better now. This week Mike was off work and between him, his dad and my brother, they were able to get just about all of the electrical wiring completed. Penelec came and hooked up our power, so we now have electricity to the house too! My dad and grandpa did all of the back filling this week so no more holes to fall into! Next week is plumbing for Mike and crew and Chuck and gang will be putting in windows! I am going to Lowe’s on Sunday to finalize my kitchen plans and get that ready to order! It is really starting to feel like home.
Also in pictures below I started to add some of the interior, you will have to use your imagination on the rooms! Please stop out and see us, I actually have something to present now!




This is the "Bad" chimney that I think resembles an outhouse.

This is the new and improved Chimney that looks much much much better!

This is the front view, YAH for windows next week!

This is looking into the kitchen/breakfast nook area.

This is the master bedroom! Lots of Windows!
