Siding, Shutters, & Hardwood Floors

Aug 21, 2021

Week of 7/7

When God answers your prayers & plans something better than you could have ever dreamed up on your own...

The last year has been filled with lots of prayers, failures, and tears. Everytime we thought, "finally, this is it", defeat followed and tears flowed. We finally gave up... and that's when God showed up & did things that only He can.

Nothing worked out the way it was "supposed to", but in the end, it actually did. I couldn't see it or understand why during all that, but I see it now. God was preparing and teaching us to trust Him through it all.

I'm thankful for all those unanswered prayers... He led us here.

This week, the siding was completed! Hooray! She even got her earrings too (shutters)!!!!

We did vertical Board & Batten on the front of the house, with regular horizontal on the sides & back of the house.

Hooray for shutters!

Then, our main flooring was installed!! The builder had already ordered the flooring when we bought the house, so the hardwoods we used are are red oak. They are laid in what's called a "varied" plank pattern. I love it! It mixes skinny boards and wider boards to create a more natural flow. We still have carpets to pick and tiles to install, but those will come closer to the end.
