Struse Family Blog





Welcome to our family blog! Follow along with us as we build our new family home! We have waited a REALLY long time, so we want to share the experience with all those we love who are far away! Hope you enjoy it and maybe learn a thing or two. . . .

Lots of good news!

Okay, all good news this time! The stucco guys didn't need any money up front, so they got started last week. All the drywall has been delivered and they started hanging it yesterday. We had the re-inspection with the bank guy this morning and we are all clear! Woo hoo!!

While we were waiting on the inspection, I stained the front door and installed all the door handles. Dan poured the concrete deck for the tub in our bathroom. I don't have any finished pics yet, but I'll post some soon. We grouted the floors and plan to grind them this weekend. We decided to grind the floors smooth after we do the grout so that you can see the lines, but there won't be a depression for stuff to catch in! I hope it turns out as nice as I think it will! Dan ground the floor in our bathroom down and it came out really nice. I've included some pics.

Also, we have decided to wait on the pool until next year. There is so much left to do on the house, and we really want to take some stress off and just get moved in! Since we are going to do the pool ourselves, we can kind of go at our own pace that way and not have to rush--plus, no more bank inspector to deal with! : )

Things are moving along pretty well overall! We still haven't finished the roof. It has rained the last few weekends, of course! So we'll just keep plugging along at it and keep you posted!



The front door after staining. The blue stuff is just tape to protect the edges of the door!


The tub deck right after we poured the concrete. It looks really nice finished!


The bathroom floor after Dan ground the surface. It came out nicer than I expected!


A closer look at the floor. You can see the rocks in the concrete.
