Our House

We found out a couple of months ago that we were going to be staying in Twin Falls so we decided that it was finally time to get a house. We looked at quite a few houses but found that the best option was to build. (Plus I would be able to pick everything out! ) :) We really liked a model home that we went in so we used the floor plan but just tweaked it a bit. The kitchen was kind of closed in so we rearranged it and added an island. We built the third garage all the way to the back of the house so it is now a four car garage. Nathan wanted some extra room so he could have a "workshop" and we will add shelves for storage. We also moved a wall out two feet to make room in the master bathroom for a separate tub and shower. The house will have 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms. There are two bedroom downstairs and the other two are upstairs. We decided to build in a new subdivision because the lots were cheap, they are building a church building down the street, there is a park around the corner, and we are a couple of blocks away from an elementary school. They started digging the beginning of October and it will be done either the end of December or beginning of January. They are really fast and I'm glad because we are so so excited! We go out to our lot every couple of days to see what they have done. Here are a few pictures of the progress...




This is where they are at now. They haven't done a whole lot the past two weeks because they are waiting for the electrician to finish up. After that things will start going really fast! We were not sure if we were going to be able to get the first time homebuyers credit because we would have to be living in our house by the end of November which is not going to happen. We were just crossing our fingers that they would extend the credit and they did! Yay for $8,000! (Now I will be able to afford to decorate!) :)
