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 roll off container

The roll off container was placed in it's spot today (the biggest one we could get).  It will remain there for 21 days (7 of which I was given free just for asking). It was really cool to watch the guy unload it from the truck, very slowly and with percise placement exactly where my husband wanted it.  It was amazing!  It is time for the demolation to begin.  Wow, what a job!  Everything must be gutted from the inside.  There is lots of drywall, insulation and ceiling tile to take down.  There will be cabinets to remove and walls to take out, bathtubs to break up and sinks to unhook.  How exciting that we are to this part.  How frustrating that we don't have 10 children to help with the tear out!  LOL  We have moved the camper into the outbuilding and set it up so that we can "camp" out if we need to for a day or so (saving us lots of gas money).  We need to get the water turned on and the electric and gas hooked up so we can have access to a hot shower and we will be set.  By the way, Jonathan mowed the grass again last night and it only took him an hour to mow the whole property complete with mowing around all the trees!  YEAH!!!  Today, David will pick up what he needs to start building the footings for the basement and crawl spaces.  Next will come block and then,  the additions will begin to take form.
