Dig It!!!

Work on the house has officially begun this weekend. My Uncle George and Melissa have been digging a big hole which will soon be the site of our basement. Thanks to some great lessons from Uncle George, Melissa is going to be a pro soon. I guess I better not mess with a lady who can handle a backhoe.
Dad and I were a little bored watching them dig so we decided to put the rock on the front of the garage. We would have finished but the generator and the tile saw didn't like each other. We should get things wrapped up soon and we will be ready to move on. Thank God for Family!!!

Garage Update

Dad, Melissa, Mara and I have been working when possible. The garage is almost finished. We have some more stucco to do but we may have to wait out the rainy season. Uncle George showed us how to do the finish and the more we practice the better it gets. The eves are done. Besides the stucco, rock and gutters the only problem is the electrical. We may get that done some day. No worries.
Aside from the water falling from the sky we were also blessed with a water tap. We didn't expect to be able to get city water so this was a real blessing.
We plan on digging the foundation for the house this weekend if the weather is good enough. Say a prayer!!!
