Outer Basement Walls are all Filled In....Thanks to Kristopher's all Day Effort.

Kristopher and his helpers managed to finish all of the 

plowing....now the builders can get to it!!!!

Get fun for the Little girls!

  

May 4th First Floor Down.

May 3'd Foor Joists and Supporting Beams are Down!

The bits and pieces of boards are now finding their place

and these first ones on are the floor joist and supporting beams.

Mr Funk is our framer, and he and his son and dad are his helpers.

Today Mr Funk found the work way to hard as he had to carry

every board up a ramp, as the basement is yet to have 

the earth plowed back against the walls. He (Mr Funk)

quit early!!  Hoping the our son Kristopher will have his

"Bobcat" ready to go on Saturday.

My Whole House is Here....In Bits and Pieces!

The rest of the house has arrived and with that arrival Mark and I now will move out and "Live on the Land...In the Trailer"  It seems mighty strange how this bunch of boards and wooden structures will in the next few weeks turn into our home.  Mark had to refasten the Dimple Board on the foundation, as the high winds blew it off.  You know, it is like living next to the ocean, with the way the winds goes and blow.  Wish we had the sea to see!

Tomorrow, the 9th of May, will be the beginning of the framing, and on Friday, our first grandson of 2012 will turn 1 (one)...So Jake, we will remember what we were doing on your first birthday.  You will always be one year older then our home. (Followed by Solomon, Achilles and Si-Ben)

Yes all the machines are part and parcel of the "homestead". Tell Stan to come on out and see if he can get it going....and if he does, then he can have it!

Stan was impressed by the odd collection of old farm machinery, particulary the Combine. Presume it belongs to your farm.   Looks as if the owners just up and left the farm.

WOW!!!  Love the "Out-House".  So nice to have all the Family there helping with the "Homestead". Just like an Old-Fashioned  Pioneer House Raising from the "Old West"!!! Love it.  So great to be able to watch everything coming together step-by-step.
