Lots of Walls

Well once again they have done a whole bunch of work on the house all in one week. On Saturday the house had some of the bottom floor exterior walls up. Here is my dad, Dan and Kyler standing by what is the will be the front door. But then I went out yesterday and we have a second floor and lots lots more walls. most of the interior walls were in and Dad said he saw the people for the truses out there. So maybe soon well have the roof to match our walls. It really exciting now cause when you walk around you know what room you are in what the view will be from that room its just really cool. The view in the master bedroom is awesome!! Well here is a veiw from the outside yesterday. On a topic unrealted to the house I will be going back to work at Child Welfare here soon. They called me the other day and I going to be working part time as soon as they get my background check back. It pretty happy! Kyler will be going to my moms during the time I will be working.

What a mess!


Hi there family and friends! Kyler and I took a little drive out to the house yesterday. No one was there working but it looked like they had been out there working pretty hard. The plumbing and heating was put in. The floor is in and it looks like they are working on framing the walls. So fun. We picked a nice tan color for the house. Dan and I were both drawn to greys but didn't feel like that would fit with the woods backdrop. We went with white for the trim color. We also got to pick out the windows, the garage door, the front door and the roof color. I can't wait to pick out some of the interior stuff.

At the Adele house we had granite countertops put in to hopefully compete with some of the newer houses in the area. It looks really nice and I like the clean up . We had one of those under mount sinks put it so you can just brush the crumbs right in to the sink. We haven't had a whole lot of interest and we have been told by a couple of different people that the market is softening a bit.

We had an okay 4th, Kyler got a little sick. I think from the heat. We went to the Silvercreek BBQ and had some good food but had to leave early when Kyler started not feeling well.
Anyway I am off to go clean.

I command you to dig me a hole

I went out to the property on Monday and they have started serious work on it. I knew they were suppose to start that day but I didn't expect to see that much when I went out. They knocked down a shed that was where our front yard will be.

They cut down the 5 trees that were in the middle of our house. Then they started cutting the pad for the foundation. It was way exciting!!

On the drive home I was asking Dan who is rarely excited if he was and his response was makes me feel kinda powerful. I was like what? and he said I have people now to do things for me, like I command you to dig me a hole and they do!
