Daddy's Little HelperToday Ray went to the lumber store early to pick up more wood. After dropping Cassidy off I headed to the land. Today we got another few sections of exterior walls up. Plus we go the walls up for the kitchen, dining room, food storage room, mudroom, and rec room. This was all completed before I left at 3:00 pm.
I am getting used to hauling wood, I guess! :o) It wasn't so bad today. Take someone who spends all day cooking, cleaning, schooling etc and tell them to start hauling hundreds (no lie) of 2x6 studs and they might not like it much either! By the end of the day I was actually looking forward to the next day (sort of :o)) When we built our last house seven years ago I *thought* I made sure I would never have to do it again! *Never* say never!!
Fun, Fun, Fun!
It is really neat to see it all coming together. My window in the kitchen is 5' across and the view is out to the woods behind. It seems so private and considering what we left behind when we left our acreage, that is wonderful!
I just wish we could build faster!! *smile* It is so exciting to see our plans coming off the paper and going onto the land! It seems so different from when we look at paper.
The little boys have been so wonderful. We brought lots of dumptrucks and basketballs and diggers for them. They are loving the sand box! But they are also so helpful when we need them. Cooper was our little garbage man. He had to wander around the job site and pick up all the garbage he could find. We also paid the little boys a penny a nail for all the nails they could find. I figured it would be a great way to not have stray nails when we are done. Austin and Cooper were the ones to take the garbage out to the street on garbage day. It was a treat for them to see the little garbage truck come and pick up the cans. Living out in the country before we had always had to take our garbage to the dump.
Today I had Cooper and Austin bringing 2x4 studs to the house for me to carry to the guys for laying out to build walls. Cooper was so proud of himself for being so strong.
