The House

Our house is now known to me as 'the' house. It is taking so long to get finished. The whole thing is getting so frustrating. It is so hard to find sub contractors who have a reasonable price and who will do the work when they say they will do it. I guess that is just me being too optimistic. It doesn't seem to bother Porter as much as it does me. He probably expects it but I think if someone says they are going to do something a certain day they should do it. Obviously not in the construction business. Porter and I are both so thankful that Porter's brother Jordan has been doing so much for us. Without him I really don't know where we would be. Anyway, now we need to get into our house by the first part of November because interest rates are going up. They are almost 7% now. We got locked in at a lower rate but that will expire the first part of November. We can buy an extension of time with that same interest rate but it's alot of money for only ten days at a time. There is still so much to do and not enough time. Right now we're in the middle of mudding the sheetrock. That should hopefully be done and the texture done by the end of next week. So, here are a couple of pictures of our house as of today. The rock guy and the siding guy should hopefully be starting within the next week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
