The house is going up!! I've gotten behind on adding photos of it, but here is the progression. Slightly out of order due to technical difficulties loading photos.

The guys took their time and did a great job framing up the foundation.



Caleb made sure it was square! We were amazed at both the boys ability to balance and walk along the stem walls. Nolan was very into learning what each room would be.


We spent a lot of time walking around inside.
Dad put the insulation in the floor before the plywood went on.



Here was our very own dancefloor/soccer stage until they put the walls up. We learned that they call if the "deck".

Caleb takes a lunch break, while on his nail pickup rounds. If only I had a penny for every nail.....

The slab was poured on a perfect day and turned out really nice.

The dogs were very bummed that they didn't get their pawprints in it. Ozzy is shaved for the summer and Happy is almost his size. The jobsite is generally full of dogs and the shovel has been used almost daily to keep the landminds down.



Here's one last photo of the framing with sheathing before the second story got framed and trusses added.
