Addition

We have been living in this 1000 square foot house for the past 5+ years.  Life has been good.  The biggest challenge has been the 1 toilet.  It sits unused all day but when everybody is home it seems like once 1 person gets on somebody else needs it.

 

 We have been very blessed to get things worked out to start an addition.  We have spent many many late nights on the computer getting plans drawn up - mostly Bruce.  He has done all the drawings and there were lots of nights I climbed in bed to wait for him and fallen asleep long before he gets in bed.  He managed to get them drawn up good enough for the county.

 Reece has been a HUGE help with this.  Bruce has gone to him for lots of advice and wondering what to do with things.  Here he is digging our footers for us.

 Everett and his brother laid all the block.  Tylinn and Kaylee loved these guys working here.  They loved to take snacks and food out to them. The block laying took more time and money then we were hoping.  But he did a great job.

 Bruce spent lots of time in this excavator.  He made lots of  dirt piles with this that he used Reece's skidster to put the dirt  in to fill all this that needed filled.

The boys even got a try at it.  Here's Dustin.

 And Rhett.

 Tylinn was sad she couldn't try out the excavator.  She is too funny!

 So much fun dirt to play in with Kayla.

 Scott and Bruce spent a couple of way late nights out getting ready to pour cement. 

Reeces workers came to help us pour cement.  They did a really good job.

 And the framing begins.
