Updates on the House

This has been a long process for Jesse. When we started working toward the dream of our new home Jesse cut down the trees and cleared out the brush where our house would sit. He put a lot of thought into where the best placement on our lot would be for our home and our driveway. He spent countless hours on designing our home on the computer. I would find him at all hours of the night changing something that he didn't think was going to be just right. He researched and figured out a way to pipe the water from the spring that we hit around our house, when they started digging the hole for our basement. I will have to say that I have learned that my husband is pretty handy to have around through this process. I had NO idea that he could do everything that he has been doing on the house. He has set our tub and shower units. He helped the builder set a couple doors and the big windows and then he tackled the rest of the windows and doors by himself. He has moved dirt with the tractor and ran the back hoe. These are just a few of the things that Jes has tackled through the project. I just hope he knows how thankful the girls and I are for him putting in so much time to make the house perfect for us!
Thank you Jesse for all your hard work! We Love You!
Doors and Windows are being finished up. Soffit and Facia are going on and I think the Stucco is going to be started later this week!
Our AWESOME friend Heath is helping us run the electrical wire!
We can't express how grateful we are to him and Lori for giving up their personal family time to help us with our new home! THANKS Heath and Lori!
This picture is an older one but it gives you an idea how far we have come.
