I can hardly keep up!

They started framing last Monday. Today is Saturday and you can see the whole space! It's amazing!

What will be our front door is on the left (hard to see from this picture -- I'll try to get a better one). This is a view from Kathy's door to the kitchen.

Yeah, lots of framing. Come over and I'll walk you through.

Our two-car garage door.

I have more pictures

but they're building so fast I can't keep up! I'll post the pictures later!

That was then. This is now.

After we returned:

Three hours later:

Framing Has Begun!

Here's what our kitchen looks like now.

A friend encouraged me by telling me framing is the best part. It goes fast and you can get a good idea of the scope of the project. You can actually walk around and get a feel for what's going on.

The Waiting Place...

We're waiting on lumber.

Trusses or something.

The Waiting Place…for people just waiting. (Dr Suess)

Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come, or a plane to go or the mail to come, or the rain to go or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow or waiting around for a Yes or No or waiting for their hair to grow. Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite or waiting around for Friday night or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil, or a Better Break or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants or a wig with curls, or Another Chance. Everyone is just waiting.

Boys love dirt

Charlie, Isaac and their friends played on the dirt piles all afternoon.

Wednesday

Forms are put up to pour the second round of concrete for the foundation.

Tuesday

Today they poured the concrete for the foundation. It's really taking shape!


Looks like Charlie wants to be a supervisor when he grows up.

My Camera is in Boulder

I left my camera at church on Sunday and had not yet transferred the pictures off of it yet so I can't post all the progress that has been made in one week! It's incredible!

You'll have to take my word for it until I retrieve my camera tomorrow. Afternoon.
