Exterior Update

I am getting really excited about what is going on at St. Andrews. In about two weeks the inside of the house will really start to develop. The drywall is going to start going up and the rooms will really start to take shape. 

This means I need to get busy and finalize my decisions about finishes and fixtures. I have so many ideas but not many definitive decisions have been made. 

While there is still much to do on the outside, there have been some big changes over the last few weeks, so I will leave you with some pictures of the exterior.

Most of the roof has been installed and the eyebrow dormer has been framed in. Now that it is installed the remainder of the roof can be finished and copper will be put on top of the dormer. I am really excited about the gables on either side of the entry. They will be a prominent architectural feature with copper flashing running from the cornice to custom louvers that will be placed within each gable.

The fence in the backyard is finished and looks really good. It is 8ft tall and provides lots of privacy. 

All of the siding has been installed and we are waiting on the brick to be installed around the master addition on the left. 

All of the windows have been installed and the french doors to the center of the family room will be installed later in the project in order to avoid any damage.


Things should really be looking good in the next couple of weeks and I can't wait to share it with all of you.

Our Christmas is always very busy. My whole life my family has gone to at least 3 different family functions if not more. So, this is what I expect and I love it!!! To me it doesn't feel like Christmas if I am not bouncing from house to house seeing everyone. 


We will be driving to Fulton, Kentucky for my Dad's family Christmas lunch on Christmas Eve. Then we will drive back to have dinner with Ryan's family. On Christmas day we will open our gifts to each other that morning and then meet up with my Mom's family for lunch. Then we will go to my parent's house to exchange gifts with my immediate family. Then we will go to Ryan's parents for dinner that night. A busy two days...


Christmas night we will get to hang out with one of my very best friends, Chelsy Hall!! Chelsy now lives in New York and I love any time that I get to spend with her!! 


I love this time of year! Celebrating the birth of Christ and spending time with family!!


We hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

St. Andrews Update

I know I have been lacking on posts lately. Things have been very busy around our house. Working at a school during this time of year is a lot of fun. Children obviously love this time of year and their excitement is contagious but slightly exhausting. Also, duck season opened right before Thanksgiving and around my house that means lots of camo and early mornings.


Also, to be honest there has been framing, demo, and more demo at St. Andrews. Which is not a whole lot to look at but it's recently starting to take shape and is very exciting.

The front has two matching gables and a new front entry.

The back of the great room. It will have french doors in the middle and two large windows on each side.

The garage has new siding and is currently being used as storage for construction supplies.

The master bedroom wing is taking shape. The windows have been installed and you can see plumbing being installed in the bathroom.

The living room had its new front window installed yesterday and it lets in so much light!

This is the new upstairs playroom.

So, as you can see a whole lot has been happening. From this point on there should be a lot more to look at and share with everybody.
