We were married in 2002, with the dream to build our own home from bottom up ourselves.
No loans or mortgages. Now, 7 years later (2009), we are starting that dream.
The lower level of the house is now fully sheathed. YES!!!! What seemed like a dream a month ago, is now a reality. We are one step closer to getting this basement closed in :)
We now have one fully framed basement. Yes, after three years, there are four completely framed walls to our basement. This was the biggest thing we had to look forward to, and now...on to bigger and even better things :)
Check it out!
And look at this REALLY cute construction worker ;)
I'm afraid we may already have a ghost lurking outside our newly framed west facing living room window :/ (Actually, Tristan happened to run through the pic as I was taking it, lol)
Here we go again...back to what we started three years ago. We had to skip a year of building due to the shoulder replacement surgery I had to have last March. But, now we are back on track and ready to really hit some nails!
We've been blessed to have a friend eager to help us get things moving along, and boy, it seems like they are. Pictures really can't tell how much we have already accomplished in just the last few weeks. And there is still more to come. If we can just get mother nature to cooperate with us, and tone down the wind, all would be very good. Yesterday, the guys were lucky that they didn't get hit with a peice of flying plywood. So here's where we are at :)
