OK, here it is, we have finally moved in. This is our new home. I thought I had more pictures of the house since it was finished, I need to take more.
This weekend I am building a shed for the back. Hopefully have that finished today. We got a lot done yesterday. The pics at the bottom is what we started with yesterday. And the top pic of the shed is when we finished.

View from the passenger seat. Look closely and you can see Cory's reflection.

First shot is of teh foundation. It is finally down. Next Monday the framing will start!
Here is Michelle scratching our initials into the garage. And Michelles Dad checking out the inscription.

Born In the USA


Happy 4th of July. This is a photo taken of Me and Michelle after the 4th of July 'Born in the USA' run in Columbia. We did not win, but we did cut 2 minutes off of our time from last year.

Alice


I haven't shown Alice lately. This is what goes on when Alice wants to go outside. She seems to think, 'If I get behind the blinds, I am usually outside.'

Then she always turns back to see if we are watching.

More Dirt and Wood



Couple of shots of some of our Trusses. We are 'supposed' to have the rest of the wood here by the end of the week. We will see if that happens.



































And we had some dirt added. This was what we thought we would have had this time last week. But I think we are looking to be two weeks behind on everything.

















































Nothing like taking pics of the Porta Pot to make things look good. Way to go Michelle. We haven't posted any others of her pics, but they all seem to have the Pot in there somewhere. So from now on I will show it with the Pot so you can see how big things are.

Finished Painting

Painting was finished a couple of weeks ago. Just forgot to add them to the blog. It looks ok. Dark orange/maroon color, we have added a kacki colored rug, towels, and shower curtain. Nothing too special, just adding some color for when we are ready to sell.

New Home Update




Three months into starting a new home. And we do not have a whole lot yet. The front part of the lot has been cleared, they moved some dirt around, and they paved the road. Not too much else. They have also added street signs and street lights.

From the pictures, this may be exciting, but we have looked at this exact thing for the 2 months. We actually have trails from where we walk around the same places each weekend.

Shouldn't be too much longer before things start going fast though. We are in the next phase of the neighborhood. The builder has 3 more homes to finish is the previous phase. No real projection of when we can expect to be in though.

Home Improvement



As we are getting ready to put our home on the market, we felt like one of the bath rooms needed to be painted to make it look better. I have taken 3 pitcures of some walls in the bath room for the 'before' shots. This weekend we will be painting them and I will load the 'after' photos. I have got everything ready, with tape, getting stuff off the walls, and clearing most of the stuff out of the room.
Wish us luck!
