Lake house update

Here's some pics of mom and dad's house. These were taken a week or two ago. We got lucky and a bulldozer and skid loader were moving dirt around the house that day. I didn't take a good picture of their view of the lake from the house. I will have to do that next time. But truthfully, you can't see much of it because of the trees.









This is a picture of the back of the house





The basement windows are all below ground, so they all have little window wells like this. These are the windows under the kitchen.





In the basement, this is the circle in the back of the house.The light you see is a bedroom door.






This is a pic from the bedroom door (see above pic).The bathroom door is on the left, circle under the kitchen in the middle.






Stairs and other bedroom door










Storeroom/utility room with the insulation





This picture is upstairs and I'm standing right inside the front door, stairs are to my left.Ahead you see the back circle and mom and dad's bedroom door. The fireplace is the dark thing on the right.






Front door and porch. The boys loved playing in the sandy dirt.





And of course they thought the machines were way cool!





This picture is taken from the sliding doors in back. There will be a deck out here eventually.





Upstairs guest bedroom. You can see the sliding glass doors to the left.








Fireplace (two sided) and front door. You can see the dormer windows at the top of the picture





Picture taken from the living/family room. Kitchen on the left, front door and stairs to the right








Adam didn't care so much about the house....just the dirt. :)






Another fun suprise! They're installing part of the geothermal heating/cooling system. (that's the big concrete circle thing)





Kitchen. There will be an island where the red and blue wires/tubes are coming out of the floor.





I'm standing at the front door looking toward the kitchen/pantry.The door to the garage is slightly right of center and the guest bathroom is the little sliver you see. The pantry is far left.








I didn't get a picture, but the last day we were here, they had framed the porch so they could pour concrete so it wont just be dirt. :)







After they got the big circle thing into the ground, they dug a trench to the house.





They were in the middle of painting the siding. This is the color it will be (kind of a barn red). Mom recently told me they starting putting it on the house.





The other great thing about the lake is it has lots of room to ride bikes!
