House Update




We've been at it the last few days since the weather has been a little warmer. The sheathing went up on the roof this afternoon despite the wind. Melissa did all the cuts on the ground. My dad did all the work moving the sheets to the roof and I got to play with the nail gun up on the roof. Thank God for dad!
We are hoping to start the shingles on Saturday. We still haven't decided on the siding material and we are making decisions about the house as well.
On another note Mara finished her first "Hooked on Phonics" series today. She is reading better everyday. She will be starting level 2 very soon.

Wow that is great I am so glad you are getting things going. The ball is really rolling now. So I want to know is my Mom or Dad a better handyman/ handywomen? I just wanted to say Hi and let you know that I am always checking out the progress of the house. I was wondering if you get mail at this address or if it is safer to send it to Melissa's parents?

I think we are both getting pretty handy, but everyone teases me that I am the boss :) I am so thankful that we love working together. It is wonderful to see the fruits of our labor. We have been greatly blessed with lots of help and I am so thankful for everyone who gives us their time.
Yes, we get mail at our address - I was so pumped when we got our new address and mailbox.
Love ya!
Mom
