The snow is slowing us down!

Another crazy week of weather for us. We worked last weekend on getting a retaining wall around our lower power vault. The retaining wall is required by Pacific Power so we have enough cover over the power line. 3 inches of rain in one day followed by 4-5 inches of snow was a little too much water on our freshly moved dirt. I wish I had remembered to take a picture after it was done last weekend...it looked so nice! But here it is now....

 

Oh well...I guess we have something to do this weekend. So the progress on the house was pretty limited this week due to weather but they did start to put up the second floor walls.

Here is the front view....

And here is the back view.....

The kids were enjoying the most snow we have had all year. Avie thought it would be a good idea to throw a snowball at her sister. Taryn in turn thought it would be a good idea to rub Avie's face in the snow. Just kidding but I know she was thinking it....

This is just a picture of our deck supports. When the crane is here to set the trusses they will also set the large beams for our back decks as well.

Last but not least, Thomas got one of his speakers for the home theatre system. He is going to be doing all the wiring for the phones, cable and media.

So next weeks forecast looks like lots of rain again. Since the interest rates are going up we are getting even more ready for this house to be done. Hopefully next week we will have some trusses up...
