Progress Report



Okay so everybody has been bugging me because I haven't put any pictures of our house on our blog. Well I take my camera with me almost every time I go out there, but by the time I drive out there and do what I went out to do...I never remember to take any pictures. So I took a couple just to give you a little dimension. The workers were laughing at me out there taking pictures. Then they told me I needed to get some different shoes on. I really like our contractor (as I've mentioned before) and he has some pretty nice workers as well. Two of his right hand men grew up out there with Blake and his family so that's kind of nice, 'cause they're kind of friends. Well they were putting the trusses on today (obviously, and I hope I spelled trusses right). It was cool to see that start to happen, they'll be at it again tomorrow. I almost feel bad 'cause it's freezing butt cold right now but then I remember, they are getting paid, and they need a paycheck, so then I feel a little bit better.
Well I had to talk a couple things over with my contractor while I was there so I went inside. Okay just a jump back, so they've had the inside all framed up for like a week now. Well this last Monday we got a huge and I mean HUGE storm. We got like 10 inches of snow in less than 24 hours. It came down good and the coule of days before it snowed it rained. Everyone was asking me "aren't you so worried about your house?" I'm thinking why be worried, there's nothing I can do about it, anybody have a 1500 square foot tarp???? Yeah, I didn't think so, your just have to live with it. Well any ways the last couple of days they've been shoveling snow out of our house. Today when I went inside it was like an ice rink. In fact one of the workers was sliding around the house with his sneakers. I was laughing. My contractor told me that he slipped and totally ate it just trying to get up the make shift stair/ladder thing that they have.
Well I guess that's about it. I would have taken a "butt" end shot of the house but I was soooo not going to walk through that foot of snow to get there. So these will have to work. I would have done some of the inside, but right now I think that it would just be confusing. My whole life is confusing. We've found this pretty good company out of Lehi that does flooring and he called me to say that he e-mailed me some bids to look at, just different ideas of what we could do. I'm supposed to talk to him about it tomorrow morning...yeah he sent me like 7! So I have my night planned. Well hope that does you guys for now.

Well I still don't know what I'm doing all the time...so I hope that everybody saw the pictures that I posted...not just the ones on the side I put a bunch more up too...I just added them as a gadget or whatever instead of in my post, so scroll all the way to the bottom and there are pictures of my messed up kitchen and the boys and Christmas. So....well...I just thought I'd let you guys know.
