Mean and GREEN! Well, just GREEN:)

Ladies and gentleman, we've come to another milestone in the house building process. WE HAVE GRASS, gorgeous fescue grass! There are certain things that just change the entire look of the house and this is one of them. All the dirt we have seen for so many months is now mostly covered with gorgeous, thick blades of deep, green grass. Now, granted this is the most green we'll probably see until Fall, it's still so pretty. With the crazy, hot weather moving our way, it will most likely get heat stressed, but we'll enjoy it while it's green. Someone once told my hubby, "There's 3 bad things about fescue." When he asked what he meant, the guy said "June, July, and August." So, all the other 9 months are gorgeous green. And because our new home is extremely shaded, we hope to see more green than just 9 months of it! Anyway, I'll stop describing it to you and let you take a peak:)

 Idea of where we started..trenching for the irrigation system

 Irrigation at the road front

 Trenches for the lighting AND irrigation near the columns at the road

 Irrigation valves

 Guys working hard to get the ground prepped

 And in comes the SOD this morning! Just gorgeous!

 Lovely at the road front!

 From the road...lots of pallets we had today!

 Another panoramic from the porch

Road front getting some much needed water!

These guys have been really great to work with. We have even considered letting them plant all the plants sometime next week. We (well, Jason really) just don't have much time to do all that with all the moving in and working (again, just Jason) going on. It's coming together for sure! Tomorrow's agenda includes getting sod in the backyard, so look for pics of that too!

On another little side note (but so fantastic too) is the grout work that went on today! My tile backspash is all grouted in (except for a little section under the window) and it looks fab! What do you think?

 Trusty tile guy, Mike, getting started!

 GORGEOUS if I do say so myself!

One more view!

Today was just one of those days that was fun to go to the house and watch things take shape. Tomorrow should be another one of those days since I get to pick my floor stain color! Totally transforming couple of days! We're getting closer folks:) Until next time....xoxo
