Roof is going up!

Here is a picture, from today, of our house. You'll see more of a skeleton of the house and the start of the roof going up. We can finally see more clearly how the finished house will look.

Winter - at last!

Thursday saw a high of 75 degrees. Later in the day we had severe thunderstorms, a tornado watch, horizontal rain, a tornado siren, followed by cold weather. Friday night began with sleet, followed by snow. Saturday was nice, but bitterly cold, with highs in the upper 20's to lower 30's. Saturday night was in the single digits, with wind chills even lower. Today (Sunday) is snow and sleet.

So, we had to get to almost the end of February before we got a real winter snowfall. Crazy, isn't it?

Finally! The walls are going up!

This is the result of the last couple of weeks. Their framing crew was actually able to get to our house this past week. The house does look much bigger with walls to outline the house. Next, more outer walls, trusses, inside walls, then appointments with electrician, gas company, and satellite TV and Internet company.
