The House

This is our project of a house. It doesn't look like much, but it has come a long way. This was how the house looked like last Thursday. They worked on tearing down the outside walls...


This is a shot of most of the walls torn down-- stucco is very very very hard to get off.

Steve took a little break with Maddie. She loves going to the contruction site and playing around (ok- we don't let her "play" around of course). Usually she is just held, but she is dying to get on the ground.)


DRUM ROLL PLEASE! This is the house as it looks now! It's gone!!!! They tore down the walls (except for one and the garage) and the roof. It's just a pile of rubble.


When we look at it, it sinks in that we are in this for real. But- how exciting. I am so proud of Steve and all of his hard work. I have to admit that I am a pretty skeptical wife, but Steve always seems to pull it off- with a smile on his face.

Next up-- plumming. Then floors, and then the framing of the new house!!!
