Flake Fun

 Building, building, catching toads, and building!  

It is happening! We only have one more garage wall to build and then put in the porch and deck pillars and we'll be ready to put the roof on!! 

Hope that you all have a great week!!

The first wall raising went really well.  We had lots of the men from the ward come and both walls were up in no time.  There were 3 guys in particular who have all built houses that stepped up and nailed everything in tight.  It was awesome!

This is a view from the back. 

Yesterday we (Scott) built 2 more walls.  One has a couple more studs to add and the sheeting but we like to do that the night before we stand the walls up.  I am hoping that maybe we can get 2 more walls up on Saturday but Scott isn't so sure. 

North/garage facing wall. 

South facing wall.  Look at all of these windows!! 

That was our week in a nutshell.  Hope that you all have a great week.

 It was so fun to see so many of you last week.  We had so much fun but we missed seeing Tori and JJ.  We came home renewed from so much family time. 

Scott has been very busy at work but is keeping his head above water. 

We spent all day yesterday sheeting the existing walls and getting ready for phase 1 of wall raising - tomorrow!! 

The power company came out and staked out the route while we were up in Utah.  Now we are hearing renewed grumbling from the affected neighbors.  Grrrr.  One neighbor keeps "joking" that we should just go with solar and the other one gets too stressed when I call him so I am having to work through his son that lives in Tennessee.    I keep telling myself that one day we will have power.  

School is going well and I feel like we might be finding our groove!!
