We are just a normal family that desires to live as debt free as possible and be a blessing to others. This blog is about part of our journey to get there. Come often and view our progress as we take the plunge with our "dream" home. Oh, you may see it as a nightmare but sit back and watch as our dream becomes a reality. A reality where we can enjoy the company of those traveling through as they stop and enjoy a good nights rest and some old fashioned home cooking. If by chance you live in the area or are traveling through, stop in and see for yourself what we are doing as you sit a bit and enjoy a glass of sweet tea. If nothing else, just come often and watch as this dream of ours unfolds right before your very eyes.

operation footings

Yesterday, David got the big part of the basement footings framed up.  We did not get a photo afterwards but it looks nice.  Today he will finish framing for the two crawl spaces that we are putting in.  Next will come the rock to fill the voids and then the concrete.  Then it will feel like we are really getting things done.  Deer season does start on Monday though, that might throw a kink in our building project!  LOL  Jonathan mowed our yard and most of the neighbors yard.  He loves to mow but I also think he does not like to carry drywall so he kept mowing!  I finished getting everything out of the upstairs and vacuumed the floors so it would seem a bit cleaner.  It is ready for someone to just start pulling nails.  Anyone up for that job?  The girls cleaned up the drywall that David had pulled down in the dining room the night before.  He trys to destroy one room a night on his way by from work.  They did not finish their job so he told them they could not leave until it was done.  Thank the Lord for my "two" electric plug that allowed them to stay after dark and finish the job.  I will be going by today to take the updated photos but for now, here are some from yesterday.
