Finishing the outside

I have noticed that I have not touched too much on the amount that we have spent so far. After the electric and buying the spray foam insulation we have come up with a total of $47,860 so far on our 3200 square foot house. There are only a few more big ticket items left to buy and then the rest of it will be a few hundred at a time. That price includes the fixtures for the bathrooms, much of the walls and ceilings for the inside,the kitchen cabinets, the doors and hardware ( in and out), and many of the light fixtures, all of which are waiting patiently in storage!

The last few weekends we have worked on plumbing and finishing up the outside of the house. Not much you can take pictures of when it comes to plumbing. It really is not all that exciting!

Someone has to finish painting the trim on the back of the house.....*cough,cough* ME!

The deck on the back is done. We will be adding a handicap ramp on this deck but just haven't go to it yet. The siding is painted but again...the trim!

Side view of the front. The wagon wheels are at some point going to be the side railing for the front porch. We got most of them at a garage sale for $10 a piece.

Around the inside upper edge of the porch there will be a shelf. On that shelf will be a row of these old telephone insulators with lights under them all. We picked up the insulators at several auctions usually only paying $5 for a bucket of them.

Here is the front painted....the light is not great because it is early.
