We started today off with finding out that our electric lines had been cut and stolen. The electrician will have to put in another line. We called the police and they met us out at the house. They are going to patrol more often now. We know robberies are common on work sites, but it was still sad. A little set back.

We went to the lake with Aunt Rhonda and Uncle Dave! On our first trip there we had waited for Larry to finish a lot of calls and work things. We finally got to the lake and he had forgotten the keys....so we drove them around and saw the little town of Abbyville.(it would have been an hour to go home to get the keys and back! The next day we tried again and we were successful. Uncle Dave got to ski. He did a really nice job. He did a long run and then said he was done. It is very tiring. So all of my grand kids build up those muscles. Ha Ha

There is our new roof. Do you want to know what lurks under it?

It's a giant silver spider!!!!

All those vents lead to bedrooms, family room and the kitchen! That should keep us cool, don't you think.

It really is a neat system. You control 3 stations from one unit. We can have our bedroon colder than the rest of the house. We can also have the upstairs area cooled when quest come. Pretty awesome, we will love that!

It is a fire place! We can have fires when it is cold outside.

Now that we are building a room up stairs we will finish the bathroom too. This is a cupboard that we added in the bathroom for storage. Great idea Larry for putting into the wall!!!!!

At the top of the stairs we have a door because now we are making this a room for guest, not storage.

This is looking up at the roof that covers the deck. There is more to do on the deck but they are waiting for the sheet rockers to do their thing.

We have windows!!!!! Looks nice. The front door and window above it will come on saturday.

We have a chimney. They will put brick around it. Hopefully that top part will keep the animals out.

They are finishing the soffets up around the edge of the house. They bend the metal to fit the house, Looks nice.

Look at the deck. Part of it will be covered and screened in for comfort. (I am a mosquitoe magnet) It will be fun to be out there now. Looks great!


This picture is of the trim work on the edge of the roof. We have windows too but they haven't been put in yet. It is coming along.
