Finally- the end is in sight!



Since ohh... we broke ground on Thanksgiving of 2007, Jer, James, Justin and at times our family and friends have been hard at work building our first home. I'd say it has been anything but short and pretty, but the end is in sight and we couldn't be more excited!


It's looking like we will be packing up and moving into 3434 Golden around the end of February! Hooo-rahh! Jeremy and I spent last week picking out cabinets, shakers, and rock. Meanwhile the Rowsell guys (plus Devin one day) have been siding our lil home. Here pretty soon we are going to take a day and finalize our appliances, tile, carpet, and fixtures. Exciting times are happening here in the Rowsell home! The sheet rocker, Mike, who is by the way the only sub we have brought in besides my Dad and Lane, should be done with the sheet rock this Wednesday. Then it's time for the girls to come in and paint. It would be nice if I had chosen some colors, but I can't make up my mind! I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit stressed. I've had a long time to think about what I want, but as of now- no idea what it's going to look like. I personally like some pretty weird colors and Jer thinks I'm crazy. We'll see...




Here are a few brags about my lovie and what he has done...

  • He passed all of the inspections on our home first time, no problems! (Except plumbing, but that was what my dad did for us...so it doesn't count)


  • The Lead Inspector for Pocatello told him that our home was the best home owner build he has seen in twenty years! Whoot- whoot for JER!


  • And finally, it's amazing to have a home built by my lovie from the ground up, just for us, while he is also working full time while I finish up my schooling and practicums! He's the best. Oh and a lil whoot for me, I will finally be done with school this semester! Hoo-stinkin-ray!
