Even with the cold and snow we still made progress!

By the end of last week both the siding and drywall crews were hard at work. By Saturday, all of the drywall had been hung in the house and the siding had started to be installed on the side and the back of the house. Luke and I had spent weeks going back on what siding color to use so we are happy with the results! We were really worried about it being too dark but I love how it pops against the white trim and the black windows. It also looks really great with the existing stone. With the drywall up, the rooms in the house have really started to take shape. This is always one of my favorite stages of renovating because for people like me that have a hard time visioning the end results, it really helps.

Some close ups of the siding. I love how the colors of the stone compliment the color of the siding.


I have officially surpassed 32 weeks! Thanks to my Dad for being my photographer. :) I figured I would take my weekly picture in the snow for a change of background. I had another doctor's appointment this week and everything is progressing normally. Dominick is still in the right position and continues to be very active. He is almost five lbs this week or the size of an average cantaloupe. I just love the food comparisons!

  1. Love the blog MK! You guys really did an amazing job with the house so far! And Chris is just like Luke and I am like you in regards to seeing the "potential" of a rundown house : ) but after some time you just learn to trust them. You look great and I hope the rest of the pregnancy is nice and easy for you.

    1. Thanks so much Nancy! It was great to see you yesterday. I have learned to trust! I just get jealous sometimes because I wish I had the eye to see potential in things. :)
