Sept. 15th...plumbing and porch ceiling stuff(?)

We met with our contractor this weekend and walked through the house to decide where we want lights and what kind we want. It was soooo exciting! I get to have accent lights on the outside of the house to make it light up pretty at night! The plumber came and installed a couple of outside faucets and started some inside things. I know that these things are not going to excite anyone like it did me, but part of the reason I'm doing this blog is to document when things happen. So, if you don't particularly find this fascinating, (I can't imagine!) then just come back another time to see if something else tickles your fancy.

Doyle and I really enjoy coffee, so we decided to get a plumbed coffee maker that is installed in the wall in the kitchen. Here's a picture of what it looks like:I know I called this ceiling stuff, but for the life of me I can't think of the real name. So, ceiling stuff it stays. Anyway, this is a picture of the front porch ceiling, or the bracing that the ceiling will attach to. I only took a picture of the front porch, but the back porch looks the same. Oh, the soffits around the house are coming along nicely and it was really nice to have the roof completely on this week because of all of the rain. We didn't have to worry about sweeping water out! I think that the electrician is getting his bid in after a walk-through with our contractor, so I guess he'll start working sometime soon. I need to decide where I want brick, rock, and the cedar on the exterior. By the way, I picked out my brick (with the help of my very patient sister-in-law...thanks Amanda!). Here's a picture of the brick, but we'll be using a chocolate mortar instead of this gray.
