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 windows

The windows have now been put in on three sides of the house and waiting for siding which should be done this weekend on those three sides. I refuse to purchase anything not on sale for this house so those sliding glass doors need to go on sale...SOON!  Jonathan tilled the center rows in the garden today and the girls cleaned out the pool.  I will try to upload the video that I took of the girls.  It was only 66 degrees outside when they did that cleaning!  LOL  Crazy girls or sure! 

The garden is looking good!

Quite a change from when we purchased it!

operation pool set up

Finally got the pool set up and working.  This morning it is even crystal clear!  Our advise to anyone who would care to ask....DO NOT EVER get a used pool and set it up yourself!  NEVER again!  Now that it is up and ready to swim though, it is a huge blessing.  Thanks to the Lessen's for giving it to our children.  They will enjoy it as soon as the weather is warm enough to swim!  We are going to rebuild the deck into a 6' round deck all the way around the pool next.  Exciting!  David also put some real water lines into the outdoor shower.  Now we can turn it on and off out there and not have to run a hose to the kitchen sink.  I also finished the flower garden on the side of the house.  Waited long enough that my bricks were half off!  YEAH!!!  It is finished for this year.  Next year I will add to it but for now it is done.  Thanks for stopping by to see how we are doing.  We enjoyed your visit.  Come back soon and see the updates.

Almost ready to swim.
