snow day!

we had an awesome, amazing, wonderful 6" (+/-) of snow today at the house. it was beautiful! puppy Boone loved it and we had a great time enjoying it here. we realized that up against the white snow, the color of the house looked more like we wanted... go figure. so here are a few pics. also, a few of the tile work in progress. slowly, but surely we're getting there. we have a friend who is a carpenter coming in to do trim work for us in two weeks- a big blessing that we can afford him! that will make a huge difference in the overall schedule. we're getting close to our personal deadline for Phase I which is to have it all done by april 1.

  

the sun came out by the end of the day and you can see that even then the color changed...
  

i liked the view of the snow in the oak tree from the kitchen. and mr. boone spent a lot of his day in bed... lucky puppy.
  

bathroom updates... robby has done a great job with the tile. he has pretty much finished all the tile that doesn't have to be cut (it's been cold and rainy making it hard to walk in and out to the tile saw). 
    

here you can see that he's started the floor, too. 
  

that's it for this snowy day...
