J is moving fast on the house!

Progress is moving fast at The Funny Farm. This is our chimney wall now up!

Our walkout to the wrap-around porch. I can hardly wait to have a cup of coffee in my hand and look out at our farm animals. 

Three walls are up. This is what I call the best view, so therefore it is the front of the house. J says it is the back. The front is the driveway side. I guess it is because I grew up on a lake. The lake is side is always the front. 

Driveway side. These walls went up without me, because the kids and I had a morning Bible Study and our youngest son (let's call him MT) had an Art Class.

When I showed up with the kids, J and Doug had built the other two walls. I got to help them raise them up. Here is our house today. Don't blink! Tomorrow the last 1st floor wall is going up. Next will be the garage walls and the interior walls. I am not sure how those inside pictures will look. So, bare with me as I post more changes.

Here is our family helping out J with the spreading of gravel in the basement, before the cement floor gets poured.

Of course our little girl had to help, kind of :)

Trust me! There are stones in my shovel. The camera just missed it.

Not fun pouring cement in a basement on a snowy day, but it had to be done!

J was concerned the trucks would not make it up or small hill to the house. You can see why! It was a messy day! At least 5 lbs per boot on J feet at times.
