The string you see hanging in the middle is the old pull down light that all of the men always banged their heads on. Gary took it down when I wasn't there, but, I understand that he took it down with a lot of satisfaction and threw it away without any remorse.

When Kris finished taking it down, this clothes pin was found holding the wire. I laughed and thought about the possibility of my Dad puting that there so the wire wouldn't roll all the way up. Thanks for the good laugh Dad!!

Old lights making way for new ones.

The finish of Kris's art of wiring, the breaker box and his own signature. Thanks Kris!!

This is our youngest helper, Jayce. He quiet liked helping Grapa use the nail gun.

Off goes the old shingles (dirty, dirty work).

Sorry everyone that last picture was of the space where the old furnace was.

Hi Everyone! I need to get caught up!

How can I ever thank everyone who has helped us with our house!

This is our nephew Kris that came and stayed a week to wire our our house. He camped out in our backyard and was wonderful.

Kris, thank you for your talents and sacrifice that you performed on our behalf.

At the same time Gabe came and helped out.

He pulled wires, demoed the coal bin in the basement, lifted sheeting, helped put shingles on and basically did what ever we asked him to do. Thank you son, we love you!!!

Of course there is the boss (Gary) who has done so much that it just never ends!!!!

Up go the trusses (Gabe, Kris & Gary)!!!!

The view from the inside.

Then the sheeting goes up.

Here is Gary and Kris. You can't see our good friend Larry who was also there. He is the one who ran the trachoe that tore down the house.

See, no more coal bin or shelfs.

This is the basement. The doorway on the left is the bathroom, then the cold storage room, two bedrooms, family room and furnace room.

No pictures this time. Could be because there is nothing new to take a picture of. I would like to say something nice , but, the words just can't come.
What can you say about contractors that show up about 9:30, leave for lunch around 11:45 and still aren't back(it's now 1:55)
I just want to tear into some one and then go screaming into the night!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, this is our neighbor Earlene and I when the floor was put down. I just wanted to dance all over!























The walls have been framed and Gary is all ready dreaming of what it will look like when it is done.

This is our cat Spook. She had to get into the pictures too.

This is looking through the soon to be kitchen into our bedroom. Notice how big the windows are!

This is me (you couldn't guess right?) standing in a space that I have never had before......MY PANTRY!

Now I have to go and clean the basement where the furnace has been moved, all the coal dust. Gary moved out all the old duct work and he was just black!

This is for Salinda who sent me the lovely gift of pink flamingos. Yes I will proudly say I'm a redneck!! See the cars also in the background? And I just might have to get some tires to use as footrest. Luv ya!!!

We moved out in the trailer over memorial weekend and today is the 29th of JULY(Gabe's birthday). You would think we would be seeing all kinds of progress, but, then you wouldn't be taking into account cement contractors. They were very busy arguing over the fate of the world and it's demise! Today was the day that they poured the floor, so now we should just see things fly!














































































We were trying to be so careful of our neighbors t.v. wires, so far we have torn them down twice.




































See cement in the basement!!!!!!! Today!!!!!
