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 mud hole and white walls

Well if there were ever a bubble to burst in this operation broadwell project, it was this week.  Just as I was preparing to move all my canned goods and grain buckets over into what seemed like an awesome underground pantry......I arrived one day to find it full of condensation!  I am praising God that I found out "before" I moved everything over there!  But, now what to do with all of this food.  We have borrowed a couple of tables to set up in the basement but not sure that will be enough.  I have to keep the food from freezing so I can't put it upstairs.  Guess a furnace will be first on our agenda after getting the rest of the house sealed up.  Have to get some air flow above the basement. Then there is the mud.... and more mud.... and more mud....  It is everywhere, inside as well as out!  Spring will bring sidewalks and concrete pad for the back of the house until then it is skids!  On a lighter note, I did get the sealer in the basement started.  It will be so bright down there when I am done.  Tomorrow the ceilings in there get painted and it will be ready for a stove to be installed so we will have the ability to cook when we are over there without a camp stove.  This is the week to move out of our home, in just 4 days we will need to be finished and on to the rest of the journey in broadwell.
