We have a ROOF!

We hired out the metal roof and after 2 days the panels are on.  We just need roof trim and we are well on our way to having a weather tight building.

The story behind the lights! Some women get flowers, others get lights!

So after we bought this property in the fall of 2018 we would go over and hang out at the property on weekends. The kids loved to walk the paths and created a trail clear into the woods where they made a fire pit out of rocks from the creek. Kale was super proud of this area. Emelia loved to work on the stone path down into the creek. Ava helped, but she more just enjoyed the beauty of the property and loved to dream up ideas of where we would build and how it would all look. We spent countless hours....days...laying out where the house would be built and a barn.  Little did we know at the time that we would do things all in reverse.

Walls and a couch

Image
It's August already and the walls are all up on the exterior and we are ready to have the trusses set. We are anxiously awaiting the trusses as we will be able to get under roof and finally begin to see our barn take shape.  The windows are waiting on us as is the garage door.  Meanwhile I'm shopping for couches because you don't want a new house and no furniture to go in it right?!?  This is the couch I've been searching for.  I've decided I don't want this exact model, but will be ordering one a little shorter than this!  Oh I can't wait to start decorating!
