Special Delivery!!!

Look what came in the mail today special delivery from California!!!  Yes they are limes... and yes they are very yellow!

Snake Hunters

Last weekend the kids found a gardeners snake nest.

Surprisingly Morgan is less squirmy about snakes than the rest of the kids.

I think sometimes Brayden has to act tough so he's not wimpier than his baby sister.

They ended up bringing home 9 or 10.... they said there was tons!!!  My only demand was that they be released far from our yard... its not fun to come across one while mowing the lawn!

Tarring the Foundation

This past weekend we tarred the foundation walls, finished leveling the rough plumbing, put in the perimeter drain and got the garage all ready to be backfilled!   The plumbing and perimeter drain passed inspection on Monday so TODAY this is what is going on!  You get a better feel for the house and the yard when the dirt gets pushed back to the foundation!  Love it!

Meg's big weekend

Friday afternoon was WSU graduation with her associates degree!

That night she decided to go babysitting instead of helping out tarring the foundation (next post).  Melanie let her drive their porsche... we had to make her!

Saturday night she went to Junior prom with her friend Jess.

Now we just have to get her graduated from High School!

Foundation & Rough Plumming

Tuesday the rest of the forms came off of the foundation walls.  Then we started doing the rough plumbing!

Morgan was so proud of herself... you have to realize... there is a huge drop on both sides!  I don't even know how she got up there!

Foundations

Monday started with lots of hammering to put up the foundation walls.

 That afternoon this is the site as you look up and down our street... 6 cement trucks!

Then the pump truck got here and things got going!  YEAH, we now have basement walls... well sort of.  1/2 of the basement will have pony walls!

FOOTINGS April 16th

Today the footings guys showed up bright and early!  I love it when people are where they are supposed to be when they are supposed to!!!

The pump truck got here before the cement trucks... he got all set up then the fun began!

Now we just have to wait for the cement to cure so they can pour the foundation!
