| Our best worker! |
Well, the house survived its first snow. Hopefully this will be the only time it snows inside the house! We missed a white Christmas by one day as big fat snowflakes fluttered down early on 12/26. The entire event lasted about 3 hours - just long enough for Jacely to make and throw a few snowballs. Since the roof isn't on the house yet it did indeed snow inside. Actually, this has been a slow week for the Dublin house...time off for the holidays, followed by Tommy's killer head cold (that put him out of construction commission for 5 days), and the loss (hopefully only temporarily) of our framing crew...made it a slow go. Todd tries to do it all but it's hard when he's alone. On the up side, we do have all the roof rafters in place and you can really see what the house is going to look like. This week they've been working on getting the outside walls up and it's going well. The pump has been connected to the reservoir tank in the garage; the attic stairs in the garage are up; the guest bathroom bathtub unit is inside; we're plugging along. Can't post this without a word about Christmas..we celebrated at Brin's house, our house, and Tommy's sister's house. Jamie was in town for 3 days - hurray! Jacely's first reaction to Santa's visit at her house was, "Santa left a big mess!" But it didn't take her long to jump into all the presents...yes, she got her "man" (which was part of a truck, trailer, horse toy). Sweet baby JD enjoyed playing with the wrapping paper most of all. On Christmas day, Jacely called baby Jesus on her iphone (play) and spoke with Mary and Jof-set. She wished Him a happy birthday. A good day was had by all! Todd told me today that he's hoping for a March completion date on the house. I was sort of aiming for June so anything before that will be a bonus. I'm not counting days just yet...
