Quiet Progress

I finally realized why I haven't been taking as many pictures of our house project. Yes, the dramatic improvements have certainly slowed down, but mostly it's b/c it's getting dark so early! When the day is done... it is pitch black and I haven't even made supper yet. My days have been very busy busy with keeping up with the demands of 4 kids, homeschooling, and the still constant mess of the remodel.
This weekend was a huge milestone for Steve. All his electrical work was finished and passed inspection. What a huge relief. He began to insulate the new part so it's starting to look more like a room. My dad has been working like a champ this week (thankfully his job is still slow :). He's been doing the slow outside work of siding in awkward places and the soffit and fascia cover. Thanks dad for all your hard work.
Also, our new geo-thermal system is fully functioning. It apparently will save us mucho bucks with it's efficient heating/cooling of the air and also heating our water. Can't wait to see the new electric bill.

We have had some beautiful days. Aaron has enjoyed "working" with his paw-paw.


Look, Mom!






This child will find anywhere she possibly can to climb. She was supposed to be in Aaron's room watching Greta and I come around to see her hanging out the window. Notice the stressed out Greta face in the bottom of the photo. She saw me and wanted out!!
