Please join us as we build our dream home in the Melrose area of Roseburg, Oregon. Five hundred feet above the valley floor, we overlook the South Umpqua River as it flows through the vineyards of Garden Valley and unites with the North Umpqua River at River Forks Park. The Northeast view presents a tranquil experience with each amazing sunrise.

Ledgestone
October 24, 2011 - Monday
We decided to put some ledgestone on the foundation of the house, so we figured it would look good to put a little in the interior as well. We installed some ledgestone on the bar side of the kitchen island and below the jacuzzi tub.

Electrical, Finish
We bought a majority of our electrical (lights, chandeliers, etc.) from Home Depot a few months ago. We finally get to start taking these things out of the garage and start putting them in the house. We made a couple more trips to Home Depot for whatever we didn't get in the first trip. I never thought I would by $400 worth of light bulbs in one trip, but we did just that. It's amazing how fast things add up.
All the light fixtures are oil rubbed bronze with antiqued glass. It looks amazing with the paint colors we chose. Very exciting to see all of this get installed.

Last electrical item. The stereo in the Gym. The stereo/DVD/CD is intended to go in an RV so we have to add a transformer. It is perfect because it installs in the wall and hooks up to the TV, so I can watch DVD's, listen to CD's, or I can run the TV through the Stereo and listen to it through the ceiling speakers. The sound is pretty good! Thanks for hooking it up for me Stephanie (my cousin).
My back willing, I plan on spending as much time as I can in here.
