House Construction Summary - Part 3

Here’s the last part of the three-part house construction summary. As I mentioned in the previous parts, I’m slowly moving everything over from the old site to this new configuration. The bright side is that I get plenty of practice at using the new system, as well as show off some of the fancy bells and whistles.

This last part will take you through November and December. Also, in addition to what I had previously posted, I’ve found a few pictures of the sod and landscaping, so I’ll toss those in at the bottom. You’ll also get to see more trimming, painting, finishing the hardwood floors, and installing cabinets, lights, and more!

House Construction Summary - Part 2

This is part two of a three-part summary of the posts I made while we built our new house. As I mentioned in Part 1, I’m doing this because I have updated my site and I just couldn’t do away with all the work I did when I originally posted all of this.

This second part covers all the things that went on between the first week of October through early November. You’ll see everything from bricking to trimming and hardwood floors. Kennye and my mom also make special appearances.

House Construction Summary - Part 1

Since I’ve redesigned the site and included a management system for my posts, I realized that I need to move some of the more popular posts over into this new format. Ordinarily I’d feel inconvenienced, but now I get to play with some of the new features.

This page follows the building process from late July (when we were picking out a suitable lot) through late September. You’ll see everything from overgrown grass and trees to a fully framed house. I hope to post the next two parts back to back so that you can find them easily.

A New Beginning

Well, I finally took the time to build a new Wordpress site for myself. There’s lots of tweaking to do, but I’d imagine i can get it done within a few weeks.

In the old model, every time I wanted to make some sort of update or post some pictures, I had to either edit the actual html pages or create an entirely new one. It was fun at first since it was something new (and I was eager to share the pictures of my house) but after a couple of months it began to be a real drag.
