Sheet rock went up and

then the texture was applied

and was left to dry for a few days.


The garage door is in. There is some tweeking that needs to be done...wall finished on the inside. The weather set us back a little but we have been doing the inside work.....light fixtures in, plumbing done. Painating tomorrow. The siding goes on and it won't be long!

Mom's House Update

At the end of the day Friday we had windows

and the roof was on!

Sunday I installed the insulation while Mike ran the electricity! Sheet rock tomorrow!

Update!

It has been a YEAR since I last logged in and posted. I've been asked to do better so I am going to try and do so......A lot has changed this year! Right now we are adding a room on for Mom .....I have posted the pictures so you can follow the progress.....Enjoy!

Tuesday morning all we had was a slab and by the end of the day it was framed up

Wednesday the wall board and house wrap went on, windows and door cut out

and the trusses went up!

Thursday we got a late start waiting for the decking and metal for the roof to get here. Got the decking on and today the roof is going on!

January 2010 Snow Storm

Thursday it started with freezing rain that turned to sleet then snow. About mid afternoon Friday it stopped and we messured 6 inches. It was so pretty but when it all melts we will have a great muddy mess.......

Izzy wasn't to sure about the snow.

Christmas 2009 Snow Storm

Caitlin has been wishing for a "White Christmas" and her wish came true....Christmas Eve it started with a cold rain that turned into sleet, then a mix and ended with a "whiteout" blowing snow! Cathlena was on her way to spend the night with us and it took her over an hour to get here.....we were getting worried when she finally pulled in the drive way.




Cathlena's car where she parked the night before!


Christmas morning....the sun was coming up and as we looked out the front door we had a winter wonderland.


The blowing wind left about an inch of snow on the back patio



Everything was covered in snow....








Papa went out on the 4 wheeler to check the cows and took these pictures of several spots on the property.
