House update

Welcome to House update #586 :)

Well... this is our Life right now.... 

Wake up. Work on house. Feed. Clothe. Take care of kids. Work on house. Clean up after kids. Sleep. REPEAT.

But I'm not complaining-- because its so fun to see our house coming together and I enjoy the work.

We backfilled {when I say we I mean our amazing Dad and Uncle who I love to pieces-- cuz shoveling those rocks by hand sucks badly.} 

Also the kids have been pretty good helpers - I think they've had fun 2-- those rock hills are quite the entertainment for them :)

 The floor got poured and they did an awesome job-- It was very fun to watch.

 Than we built the bearing wall which we than had to unbuild and reconfigure cuz there was some slope in our concrete-- That was fun.

 Putting the floor joists on-- It was going very quickly until we hit the problem with the bearing wall and than oh my- the stairs issue.

 Oh my- the stair issue-- It's still a very frusterating issue-- The way the architect had designed it was not how we wanted it {all boxed in like your walking to a dungeon and impossible to get furniture down } and we never did get thorough to him-- ahhh-- so we had to redesign them, talk to the inspector figure out if we'd have enough head clearance and a whole bunch of other headaches. Fun Fun.

Thankfully Dave bought me these pretties :) Building a house is, I ain't gonna lie, pretty dang hard on a marriage. many much decisions and all of the little differences you have really come out. But I Love my man and thankfully we still take some time for just us- and seeing him in a sexy toolbelt every night sure doesn't hurt anything {gotta love a man in a toolbelt-- yum :)}

 We finally put the floor on {I'm not ashamed to admit I danced a bit of a jig in my kitchen I was so excited }

 And right now were working on the exterior walls :) It's very very very fun to see them go up and get to see our house coming to shape.

And every Evening we get to see Idaho's Beautiful Sunsets-- It's a good life.
