Building.

So... We are building a house. It is going to be in Hooper, and we are SO excited about it, and it's fun to watch it progress.

Here are some pictures of the house from the beginning.

Our lot before we started building.

When they started digging our hole, the kids and I ate a picnic in the van while we watched them dig.

Flatwork (cement in basement and garage).


Framing.






It rained for a few days before the roof was on. So Casey squeegeed all the water out of the house.

Benson helping.

Trusses.

We still have a LO-ONG way to go! But every time something new happens, we get really excited, and we get closer to having our dream house!!!!
