August

The day after we closed on our land my dad and his crew were here to put up the shed.  This is where we are storing our stuff until the house is done.

The slab was already here, and so were about 90% of the building materials.  Praise God!

The next day we met our excavator and decided where to put the house...

riiiiiight HERE!

The crew arrived and got to work - by the time we left (just a couple hours later) all of the rafters were on.  They rock!

The next day it looked like this!

And then there was lots of moving dirt...

The steaks outline the corners of the house.

The driveway comes up and around the shed.

Now we have steel on the roof.

The foundation of the house is all dug out.  They will now fill it with sand to the top of these steaks... that is A LOT of sand!

The boys loved these big piles of dirt!

Time to mark all of the posts for the house.

We said good bye to Westby and hello to Salem Ridge.

 This is our current home :)

 Digging holes for the posts.

By the end of the day they were all in the holes.

Insulation is around the outside of the house.

Last day of August and the roof is ready for steel.

I never did take pictures of the finished shed... guess there were too many other things going on!
