Shooting Grades And Marking House Pad

Yesterday dad came up here to shoot some grades. If you aren't sure what this means, he used this little instrument to tell him how much he needs to cut the ridge down to make a level house pad. We also put stakes in the ground to show the corners of the house and where it will sit on the two acres. I have to meet the excavator out there this week and get a quote of leveling it off. Next weekend we will get the chainsaw and cut down the big trees!

Beware! This blog will probably become my house building diary.

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

Our Kitchen

My favorite room in the whole house!! We still need to put the cabinet pulls on the cabinets. I have them picked out, I think dad has ordered them. We also still have to trim out the appliance garage, microwave, and fridge. The trim pieces are in the garage. I absolutely love being able to cook while watching TV and the open space for entertaining. There is so much storage! I can finally buy in bulk or buy two of something when it is on sale. I literally had one cabinet for food storage in the rent house. Everything was neatly crammed in there. Now I can actually get something without taking everything out.

In This Crazy Life...
