Preparations for the new house

So, we're have finally figured out our house plans!  We have everything finalized and are waiting on the bank to close on the loan!  It's so exciting!  We are doing a lot of the house projects on our to save money and because we want to add our own unique style to the plans.  So, our first project is the kitchen island.  We are building our own and putting in our own sink and dishwasher complete with a concrete countertop.  Matt and John have been working very hard on this and the island is going to be awesome!  We can't wait to see the finished product!

Concrete is poured.  Matt is vibrating it with a sander to get the air bubbles out and to make it as smooth as possible.



Notice the piles of wood flooring in the background (yet another DIY project on our list)
