A HUGE thank you to the TREACV and other volunteers for coming out Saturday and landscaping our Hero's Home. It was amazing! 1.5 hours and the shurbs, tree, front and back yard sod were laid. Great Job!!!!

Let There Be Walls!

A little sheetrock and presto! We have walls. This first photo is a view of the family room. Check out that arch!!

Look to the right and you'll see the breakfast area .

It's hard to see it now, but this is the kitchen. The sink will be under the window and cabinets will wrap all the way around. It's going to be gorgeous.

The master bedroom features a wonderful vaulted ceiling and private bath with garden tub and separate shower.

The tub/shower in the secondary bath has been set and will soon be ready for the kids!

Shingles, Siding and Sunset

One of the most wonderful things about living in Southern Oaks is the sunsets. Here's a view that Chrissy and Stan will have out the back door of their home.

The 1oo degree temperatures didn't stop these builders. This week we got shingles on the roof, siding on the house and the window and doors were set.
