It's been a long time.....

I'm so sorry for not keeping things up to date! I have been so busy with work and been out of town a lot that I have just not had a chance to keep up. I have managed to take some photos along the way so here we go. I think last we left each other the windows were just about to be put in. So much has happened since then, it really seems like a long time ago. I'll say this about the windows.....MOST of the windows look fantastic! I say most because I am extremely unhappy with the window in the kitchen! More on that later... Here is a look at the front door being installed and the front windows.

My new laundry room door. It has a great view of the backyard and once we finish with the landscape it will be beautiful!

Here's a view of the side of the house. All the cement on this side of the house had to be removed. It was poured higher than the foundation of the house and it needed to be dug up for our new drains. Very exciting. So, since that cement was coming up and since we are going to install a pool in the yard when we are done, that meant the jacuzzi had to go! It takes an army to move a jacuzzi!

We gave it to our neighbors and they brought an army to move it! They are now enjoying their new jacuzzi and are really grateful!

Now back to the windows....The way we ordered the kitchen window, it is actually 4 windows put together. But when it came in, the center of the window is actually wood! it's where the two windows are stapled together. I have to say it is the only thing in this house that has made me cry! When we started this project all I wanted was a window that looked out into my backyard. I do have the window, but the view is blocked and quite frankly I'm pissed! I'm not mad at anyone (though I think our window guy should have been brighter than that and told me this) but one thing I am not going to do is put up with it! Jack is being a very good sport about it really. I mean I want a new window and they are not cheap, but there are some things I am not willing to compromise on! He has asked me to wait until everything is done to really make sure I can't live with it, so I have agreed to that, but I'm really not sure I can live with it. Take a look,
