Workin' on the house and going to the farm

Lots has been accomplished since our last house post. Gracie was on the porch roof sweeping off debris after Grandpa and Taylor finished up the soffets. Unfortunately, I (Kelly) was not looking and twice stepped under the roof while Gracie swept all that "stuff" down upon me. Grandpa even got in the way one time, yikes!





Grandpa helping Grandma get into the lift for a ride! Notice the glee on his face?



There they are, flying high!!!!

See the beautiful soffet work ALL done!!! Grandpa and Taylor worked extremely hard to get that all done, all 3 stories worth. The picture shows the porch soffets, the second story and the dormer one. The lift came in very handy, but their arms and legs did most of the work! Good job guys!



Grandpa after a long, hard, hot day, but he finished the work!!! He's been truly amazing to watch work.




Ben and Ben on to something else.

David drilling holes for the electrical wire. He was working VERY hard not to make the funny face he usually does when concentrating because he now cares how he looks, right Keslie???



Isn't a library supposed to house books, not lumber???

Grandpa cut all the trim for the outside windows, you should of seen the pile of dust that looked just like snow.

The one window is not in so that the drywallers can bring the drywall in through it.



Marc and David working on the electrical, they got a lot done yesterday.


A friend, Jennifer, brought her neices and nephews over to run through the house and then we went to the neighbors dairy farm and enjoyed the animals. This is Micah looking at the chickens, a certain breed of them had no feathers on their necks, wow, ugly.

Benjamin had one twin on his back and I had the other on mine for the long walk. It was a fun day.

Cool, looks like it is coming along well! :)

That is neat seeing that lift, it is the exact type I helped build when I was on an internship with the company in Seattle. 8)

Thanks for the picture update, Mrs. Smith! The house looks so beautiful. I pray I'll get to see it in person one of these days. May the progress continue to go well for you.

Hugs and love,
