House Update!

The footings have been poured for the garage and the basement. The garage is ready to have the floor poured in the morning. We managed to cut the electric to the shop and the phone line. So, we had to have guys come out and run temporary lines for the electric and phone. It was a busy day! Tomorrow should be just as busy. We hope to have the garage floor poured along with the basement walls. Gary is also going to dig along the east wall of the house so that we can fix the foundation.

Not House Related!

Boyd took Erin and Josie to the state fair while I stayed home with Isaac. She had a great day! Ice cream at 10:30 a.m. and her first foot long corn dog. She was also thrilled to see Clifford the Big Red Dog!

Wow! Tim dug the basement today. It sure looks like a big room now! You can click on any of the photos to make them larger.

No more tree!

Here we go!

Well, here we go!

Ok, I've decided to start a blog even though I HATE writing! So, you should expect to find grammatical mistakes and misspellings.

I started this blog to help document our construction project. Last night some friends of ours came and removed the deck and hot tub fence. Today Tim and his crew brought in an excavator and tore our big maple tree down (in just over an hour). They also removed the cement pad where the hot tub used to be. We are now waiting on the housing inspector to bring the building permit. I am going to try and post some pictures of our progress so far. I did forget to take a picture before they removed the deck, though!
