Happy Thanksgiving

Three great reasons to be thankful an a birthday too!

Kitchen Design

Not to be outdone by all of the outside work, Melissa has been working with Direct-Buy to design the kitchen. Here are a couple of early looks at what the kitchen will look like.

Wire time

The Stucco crew showed up today. They started to wire the house. They have scaffold almost all the way around the house. It won't be long and they will have it all wired up and ready to stucco.

We got it done!

Praise the Lord, it took four days and and quite a few people helping but we got the soffit, doors and other odds and ends done and we are ready for the stucco crew.
Wayne came down today and he, dad and I finished things up. We had the scaffold in some weird places and maybe it was a little unsafe at times but I don't plan on letting OSHA know.
Now we will slow down for a few days with plenty to be thankful for. Thank you all for the prayers.

weekend update part 2

We decided to take off a day from working around the eves to get the doors in place. I think that was moms idea... Anyway, it was a good idea as the four of us (Dad, Mom, Melissa and I) were able to get all four doors installed. I am taking Monday off in hopes of finishing the eves and other things that need done before Tuesday. Keep praying!

big weekend update

Our long weekend of work continued today. Dad, Uncle George and I got quite a bit done. We still have two peaks to do but we got one done today. We are still hoping to be ready by Tuesday.

Soffit going up

Hey everyone, hope all is well. We are getting over the colds we had last week. Myka started things and we all took a turn. It feels good to breathe normal again.
We are done with sports for awhile. Hoehne lost in the semifinals and TSJC doesn't have another home game until mid-December. Our next game isn't until high school basketball kicks off in early December. I guess this means it is time to hit the house hard.
Dad and I have been working on soffit the last couple of days. We need to get it done, get the doors installed and finish all of the outside utilities by Tuesday so the Stucco crew can get going. Mom and Dad decided we needed a little help so they are giving us an early Christmas present. Mom knows a great stucco guy so she got him to give her a good deal. We are very excited to get that done and move inside.
But before any of that can happen we need to hit it hard. We pray for good weather and safety. Hopefully we will be working inside soon.
