The house continued...

Progress is being made, but slowly now.

May 17th. This is the back of the house.

May 17th. The electrical is pulled, and when we stopped by, our new neighbors came by for a visit.
May 20th. This is my new ginormous master shower. Notice the ledge all the way around!


May 20th. They have painted all the bottom half of the studs green. Don't know why...probably never will. But look, there is a phone jack!

A new beginning

Well. Our little chaotic house is about to become a BIG chaotic house! We are now building a house to move in my grandparents. Some may say, "great, built in babysitters!", but it is actually us that will be caring for them. Now, these are my grandparents, not my husbands, but he is all for it. Our sense of family has really heightened lately, and we must take care of each other. Here are some pictures of the process of building our house.
