Operation Broadwell: December 2013

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 kids cubby

David was off work for a couple of days around Christmas so he finished the kids cubby for the kids to read in or the grand-kids to play in. It is a great little place to just read and relax. Originally this space was suppose to just get a brick wall to close it up. I saw a different thing though so I ask David if we could leave it and use it for the grand kids to read or play in. We finally finished it this week and the grand kids love it! He also made me a ribbon rack in my sewing area. So blessed to have a husband that can just do anything!

I made some soft pillow covers for several pillows

All organized!

No one can fall off anymore.

Game shelves on our side of the kids cubby

It is awesome to be able to see what you have!

operation HEAT!!!

Just like nothing can take the place of the warmth of a wood burning stove, nothing can take the place of the warmth coming from a furnace that fires up each time the thermostat goes below a certain level. No getting up in the night to load logs so that you don't wake up to a cold house. Yeah, we now have a furnace hooked up and running. This will make it so much easier to work upstairs this winter and hopefully have the walls finished before spring. This is the part where the house really starts to "look" like it is being worked on. Paint and decorations are just a little ways away now! It did snow this week too.
