And UP We GO!!!


It is really looking like a house now, and I must say I am THRILLED! We have started framing, the pluming is getting inspected today, and tomorrow we start the insulation! We are leaving for Israel on Friday for two weeks, soAlign Center when we get back we will be able to see the whole outline/frame! I wish we were going to be here to watch but oh well!


Where are all the Franklin Express Men??? We could have used you!!!
We have had some huge trucks down our driveway bringing in supplies and hauling out trash. The above pic was taken out of our second story current bathroom. The blur at the bottom is the window ledge and the neighbor's house is about 3 inches away from the other side of the truck!

These guys know short cuts! Instead of manually lifting all the wood off the back of the truck, the driver floored it and the wood slid off a few feet, and then he floored it in reverse and slammed the breaks to tilt it the rest of the way off. It made quite a racket...at like 7am! No one slept in that morning!!!

Pouring the foundation...unfortunately we didn't get to see any of the concrete poured. We were in TN and also at Nathan's 10 year high school reunion. This is what it looked like when we left. When we got back we had a nice foundation and even a few lovely pictures etched in from some of the crazy locals.
