House update!

Mom and I went to take the guys some food yesterday evening so I was able to take some pictures. The foundations are done, pony walls built, and they are almost finished hanging the joists! Saturday they were building the crawl spaces and placing the last few joists. We were also extremely blessed by David's friend Josh wanting to come and help for the day. They all had a wonderful time working, singing, laughing and talking. We're also very excited that Dad was able to save up vacation time to use for building the house. He is going to take the rest of the year off! He will be able to work full time on the house and hopefully get lots done in the next few weeks.

hehehehe! Okay, I was standing with the house behind me looking toward the road and what you see is the only patch of grass left in the yard!

Looks like you'd better get a lawn mower out there, pronto!! :-)

That's great your dad can take off work to focus more on the house. I'm sure lots will get done and it will be exciting to see the progress!
Thanks for the update!
Wishing you blessings! :)

It looks like David is doing "the robot" in that first picture! (hopefully you know what that is) ;-)

Things are really moving along nicely, good to see! Hopefully the weather will take it easy on everyone working on the house this year.
