Frustrating…I know we need the rain, but this every day rain pattern we are in has put things to a halt. It doesn’t help that the contractor has not returned our calls.
In the meantime, the puppy has become a full family member. He is going to be a laid back dog, I think. […]
Ann still has her kidney stone. The specialist feels it is the kind that can be dissolved with medication, so the blasting machine will just have to wait. Luckily, too, for its cost was equal to the flooring in the downstairs of the new house.
The stone is estimated at 8mm, which is about a third […]
We don’t have a house yet. We don’t have electricity or plumbing. We don’t have a driveway or even a lawn, BUT we do have a hot tub. We found a guy who refurbishes hot tubs and sells them for about a third of new. He did not have room or want […]
I have a great picture of our walls, and we are so excited we cannot stand it. I would say we were just a week away from moving, but I would be lying.
The other exciting piece of news is that they repainted the double yellow lines on the road to our house, and they […]
This is the back wall with the openings for the vents. The dirt will be pushed up there so you won’t see all that grey block. The deck will come off this side of the house, with the hot tub straight ahead.

Finally, today we made our daily drive and there he was…the block guy…laying block. They could not […]

Finally, the footers are poured, we feel as if we are on the way. I took the puppy with me when I went to watch, figuring he needed some socialization. Heck, that dog took over. He even gave advice as to the pouring of the concrete.
I watched as they poured the first footers, […]
We are making progress. Cement is to be poured today at noon. Block mason comes tomorrow. Heck, we are only three weeks behind. Seems a neighbor down the mountain reported to the county that we were building a house on the mountain cliff (we don’t even have a mountain cliff), and she was […]
Well, not the actual house, but you get the joke! For a lack of new photos to share, I will post these:

It is very posh, and it came with toilet paper and everything!
I would rather explode […]
