The trusses are up, the roof is ON!  We had a lot of help from friends and family over the last month to get it sealed in and ready for winter.  Let it snow....well, not just yet.

Mtich, Tim and Brian and Mike - THANK YOU for all of your help!

There is Miss Ava - that is a long way down!!!

Ahh...the view - not too bad from the 2nd floor.

Walls and 2nd Floor

This is where we left off (begining of July) on the house building prior to emergently traveling to Seattle for Ava's medical.  It is now September 12th and Erik is working on putting the trusses up this weekend. 

Erik working on the second floor - I think we are putting the

BCI's up here - that was an interesting task!

We are hoping to just weather it in and call it good for now.  It is time to put this project aside and focus on Ava and Austin as well.

Walls...

2nd floor almost up!

Green and 4 walls UP!!!

LOOK! Clear skies and green leaves and the grass is coming up!!! FINALLY!

Erik has been hard at work getting the "addition" built. 4 walls are almost done and then it is on to the interior walls...and then on to the second floor.

Wall Two!!!

Wall number two of floor one up...

One wall up!

One wall up - how many more to go....?



This is going to be fun!!!

A big pile of plywood - hopefully it will be on the walls soon ;)

Here we go again...

Here we go...time to strip off the siding, trim the roof line then start putting up the first floor walls.

Ava has been riding her bikes on the floor maybe the snow will be gone before the walls go up so she doesn't have to stop riding.

Some of our materials to get started with. Notice the snow? Hopeully it will be gone soon with the warmer weather and sunshine.

Fall colors are here!




TJI's are in - YAY
