Certificate of Occupancy and moving in!

The official piece of paper! 6.5 months of scheduling and a little bit of sweat. 

Me and my girls, who I would do it all over for again. 

This time, we hired two guys to help move the big stuff, so I was too busy to take any photos then. But here's Faith unpacking boxes and waving for K2, he asked if we had moved in! 

Piton settled in, without too much hissing at her sister! 

The 1st morning enjoying breakfast before church. 

Haley had 3 of her girlfriends stay over so I wanted to put up the string lights. The lower level will have them too! 

Walking around the house I saw this picture with the leaves in the background and thought it looked cool. 

Haley's cool light above her couch. I need to get more chain so it hangs down further. 

The final product! Just need concrete. 

The very last "punchlist" item was to arrange the logs, assemble the door and fire up the direct vent fireplace! It's going to be sooooo nice! 

With dad's help we got the well pumping water so I could water the lawn. This is the back part of the property that not many people will ever see, but Bunky, and it's one of the most serene. 

Thanks for following along! - Faith, Haley and Brian

1 to go, 1 to go, 1 to go! It's the Bell lap!

Shower doors installed in the master

 Haley's bathroom and also bath #3

 Stone completed on the chimney

 Appliances

 The final product in the powder room, minus a mirror we just found online

The final coat of stain on the bead board ends up with a rustic look.

 With the stain applied to the rail, it looks so good now that it brings out the scratches and marks in the wood!

 I like the subject matter in the mirror, more than what she's taking a picture of! :)

 With the lights on above the kitchen cabinets it also lights behind the stained glass so you can really see it at night now!

The fence we like and there will be more like it holding in Bunky soon. But the wire is only so we can pass the CO, which the final inspection is tomorrow!

So many things going on right now that not much else to say. We're ready to be done making DECISIONS! We did a really good job of planning up front, but there are so many other decisions that have to be made in a custom build, especially when it's for yourself and the home you plan on being in forever!

The laps are winding down, it's almost time to bring it home!

The COREtec Plus 5" luxury vinyl plank in the color of Carolina Pine in the basement is done.

This is the powder room with recycled barnwood from the property installed.

The vanity arrived! 

Granite counter tops were installed and virtually all of the lights hung. 

Call us unconventional, but we love our hand hewn fence looking handrail! 

The bead board needs to be stained, but otherwise the dining room is complete. 

The fireplace turned out really good, especially with the detail we requested! 

And this was a momentous occasion as it was the first time the garage has been clean enough to park my truck in it! 2 weeks to go!
