Are We Building a Church?

After a few weeks of little progress our framers are back. Today they got the back wall of the house framed. The plan is that tomorrow they will set the center beam of the roof and then frame out the whole north wall and dormer. And yes, of course I climbed up the ladder to check out the view.

Beau Turns Dos

I'm sure that you all have already figured this out, but time goes by so fast. Beau turned two last week and was very excited about his chocolate Mickey cake that Marta made for him. You can see that he also likes building things and in particual knocking the things down. He spent an hour with two of his cousins, Caleb and Jensen, building towers and then knocking them down. He is all boy.

Here's The Master Plan

Here is the big picture, and when I say big I mean long term. Within the next month or so we should be done with the shell of this design, but all we are able to do currently is the shell, so I will be left with three unfinished spaces. I'm developing my insulating, electrician, plumbing, hardwood floor, drywall, and finish carpentry skills as we plan to finish these spaces over the next couple of years. I think that I won't be out of things to do for a while...
