I made a trip out to check on The Lodge just over a week ago and was so excited to see some big updates! My dad, a home builder and inspector, was here visiting, and I couldn’t not bring him out to see the house. Even more recently, Alex and I just made a spontaneous trip out to stake out where the hot tub will be located.
Here’s what’s going on at The Lodge:
- The septic system was installed
- Siding has begun – I think they’re close to halfway done
- Trim around the exterior windows was completed
- Soffit {wood under the roof overhang} installation has been completed
- Drywall has begun – all of the drywall has been hung – next up: taping and mudding!
- Fireplace waterproofing and prep for stone on the outside is complete, inside is just beginning
- The heat is on!!!!
Unless I’m missing anything the only big decisions we have left to make are the floors, interior paint color(s) and the furniture. Here is a link to my Pinterest board if you’re curious to see some of the furniture we’re going with {note: the colors that show up on the Pinterest board are not necessarily the colors we have selected} or are interested in.
We did learn from the builder that we won’t be in until sometime in January. We were disappointed to hear that we’re not able to be there for Christmas, but at least we know now. It’s so fun to see everything happening and see it start to take shape. Alex and I have been lamenting on how we’ve started imagining and picturing ourselves in the house and it is SO fun.
