Things are coming along....

We have had a great week of weather here in Southern Oregon. During this weather break we have been blessed to get a lot done on the house.

The plumbing and HVAC is in. Before the flooring comes in on Monday there's a bit of water that will need clean up. Hmmm...and I know just the teenager for the job!

  Speaking of kids....Quinn is loving the outdoors. Here he is asking Avie "wanna fight"? A little while later he was playing in the dirt and managed to fling dirt onto the wet cement floor.

We were able to pick out the rocks and such but then he did it again. The picture below is Quinn after the stick was taken away.

This is a picture of the boys pouring concrete. It was 38 degrees and one of them was even sleeveless. They were working hard and on a Saturday too. Hopefully the completed garage floor will make the framers job a little easier.

Here is Avie standing in the hole for our deck footings.

Here are the footings after being poured today.

We have been really fortunate to have found Jim Brown our contractor that did our foundation and garage slab. He will also be doing our masonry fireplace. Anyways...he called Thomas and told him the time to come up so the kids could put their names in the concrete. Here is Thomas and Taryn making a plan.

Here is the finished product and quite possibly my favorite part of this house. The kids were wishing Auzzie was here so he could have been included too.


Any of you who know me are well aware of my indecisiveness. I am running out of time to pick out windows and I need to get plumbing fixtures ordered.
To continue with the craftsman theme, I think I have decided on these windows.


Thankfully...I still have a few days to think about plumbing fixtures!
