And there's MORE!

Here are the latest "happenings" at Hoke Manor...
June 8th - The plumbing & electrical was installed - yippee! We have bathtubs! We have electrical, cable & phone outlets!

The shower & jacuzzi tub in the Master Bath

The tub/shower in the boys' bathroom

I'll spare you yet another picture of a tub/shower from the basement bath... It is identical to the one in the boys' bathroom - and besides, it was too dark down there to get a good picture!

We also got a garage door - Yay! (It's the little things that excite us most...)


June 13th - Our insulation was installed!


This is looking from the outside into the garage

June 16th - Our drywall was installed! We have real walls!

Our Kitchen
Looking from our TV room to our front door area/stairway/dining room

Our Loft area
June 17th - Our drywall was taped & mudded (is that gramatically correct?!), and they started bricking & siding the house.

Looking from our breakfast nook, into the kitchen, and the TV room

Starting to brick on the front

The back of the house is sided, and the screened-in porch is just awaiting a door & screens!

Things are really starting to take shape. We've been given a closing date of July 29th -- just a little over a month from now! Yikes!!

We still do not have our current house listed yet, due to more home improvements that still are being made; and while we're on that topic, I'm convinced that these so-called improvements never seem to end! I mean, we've lived in this house like this for 7 years, why are we fixing it up for complete strangers?! I digress... we're also totally at the mercy of the Lowes installers right now waiting (and WAITING) on our new flooring upstairs. Ugh! Oh well, we'll get it sold SOMEDAY... ;o)

That's all for now, folks! Stay tuned...

Love, Jenni

I hear what you say about all the fixing for strangers. We spent more time and money getting our house ready to sell than we did on improvements when we lived there. How exciting to see your new house take shape!
