April 2011

April brought on many challenges to our building project.  First, when you are contracting your own home, and baseball/softball season gets in full swing, it's really hard to find the time to complete projects!  We barely had any free moments to do anything, much less work on the house.  Then, on April 27th, 2011, Tuscaloosa County was hit with the most devastating tornadoes in the history of Alabama.  Our home was on hold for 2 weeks or better.   Here's what happened in April:

The great room fireplace was finished:

The floors started being installed:

 Laundry room

 Mud/entry way area.

 Standing in the foyer, looking through the dining room into the kitchen and keeping room.

 Kaleb and Ty's bathroom floor.... laid by my parents.

 Looking down from the 2nd floor balcony.

 Our one carpeted room is the 3rd floor bonus room.  It is going to be the kids' Wii/TV/play area, so we thought carpet would work best and keep down the noise!   lol

Late April brought tile work:  The tile around my tub is complete and LaTrelle's "man cave" shower is done.  The shower has turned out to be one of my favorite things about the house so far.   Kudos to Carver Tile!
