Only A Couple More Outside Walls To Go!

Welcome back!! Well today even more walls are up, the garage footings have been poured and..... We have a lot of extra dirt! Don't exactly have any idea where to put it now... Anyway, pictures are below with captions! Thanks for following along!

The wall on the right is mostly the wall between the garage and the kitchen, but also, first window on right is from the dining room to the drive way the door is from the garage into the mud room, the window in the middle is the laundry room window, and the big door is the slider from the kitchen to the "back yard".

We Have Real Walls!! And Some Other Fun Stuff!!!

Welcome back! We have some of the walls for the main floor done and it looks awesome! Pictures below with captions this time!

The quote from my dad for this picture is "from this day on and forever more this will be "Mom's Corner". Or "grandma's corner". Mom designed this area with the windows for both views and she wanted them to be at side table height. She got what she asked for"

View from the hill

View from "Mom's Corner" towards long lake

Best view from a bathroom I've ever seen! 

View of the front corner, den/bedroom, main door from the lake and bathroom window

Crawlspace under the kitchen and laundry room. The garage will be to the right of this.

So this is a view from the dock towards east lake and the fire pit. Right behind the fire pit is a sight hill/ditch without any trees near it. 

So I suggested to my dad that since we don't have much of a yard at the top of the hill I wondered if we could add dirt down in this area so we could have a lawn/bigger fire area down by the dock. And sure enough, look where the dirt ended up! 

At the end of the day, we get to have a view like this. 

Happy Friday! Thanks for following along and have a great weekend!! 

It's Been Raining... A Lot. But The Work Continues!

So the weather hasn't been the best this week but everything is still going along as scheduled! The floor was finished and the Kitchen, Dining Room and Laundry Room now have a foundation. Pictures below! Also, the two doors in the basement will lead to two separate parts of the basement, one as a living room and one as a shop.

Wow! Almost Two Floors In A Week!

We almost have the main floor done! Check out the pictures below!

We Have A Floor!!!

Welcome back! So yesterday we had the floor poured and today the main beams were put in!

Also, for anyone worried about our wild animals, the ducks were seen with another group of baby ducks and a mom. So I guess she adopted them! The turtle eggs were moved to the side of the camper and put in a nice warm pile of sand. So we will see what their future will be in the posts to come! Also, we had a visit from one of the local bald eagles on the old tree by the bridge today. (Pictured Below)

First Baby Ducks Now Turtle Eggs!!!

So today my dad woke up to a mother turtle laying her eggs in the sand on the construction site. Don't exactly know what to do about them now knowing they are in the way of everything going on. Thanks for following along! 

Final Basement Walls!

So! We have the basement walls completely done and the plumbing for the it also done! Soon the basement floor will be poured and the ceiling/main level floor will start to be built! 

It's Starting To Look Like A House!!

Today we had the basement walls poured! And even more importantly the bridge held! Pictures below...
