- 1 -Hallelujah!! The Angels are singin yall! Ok, so maybe its not a moment the angels would sing over. We are however. Its been a loooong week with no laptop charger. A trip to Best Buy and we are back in business! Whoo hoo! - 2 -I rock at this whole "Being a Contractor"…
Driveway Fix Attempt 2
Just a refresher of what it looked like and what we went through last week:It rained... again... and we had a similar mess to deal with. With Mr.'s new job though we have access to materiel that is good for driveway base. Yay! So we had to prep it. After filling most of the ruts…
Oh Insulation
FINALLY YALL!!! We have finally reached this stage! Kinda (I’ll explain). The plan for insulation has evolved quite a bit during the planning and building process. We knew we absolutely did not was traditional fiberglass – it just doesn’t work real well compared to the other options. it stinks at stopping/slowing air exchange, 15 minute fire…
Happy 60th Anniversary!
Mr.'s grandparents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary this week. They wanted it to pass without any fan fair. Sister-in-law and I decided that's just not right! *60* YEARS yall! That doesn't happen all the time!!We surprised them with a cake, food and almost all of their decedents (we were missing 2 cousins). For a wonderful…
A day at the farm
A farm next to us had baby goats! The children *loved* seeing them! Except for Mr. Littlest. He loudly proclaimed we "need" a baby goat "but first we need a garden". When she invited us over to come play with them, he wanted nothing to do with them. But was more than happy to be…
Clay + driveways = disasters
Let me just tell you what red clay soil and 2 inches of rain in a week does.Actually, they say a picture is worth 1000 words. Here ya go:It makes you spend all day messing with 10 feet of your 600 foot driveway. Because not being able to pass that 10 foot area is not…
7 Quick Takes – 3/3/2013
- 1 -Is this not the prettiest?! We serve such an amazing God!!As of last Thursday, we are "sede vacante" (vacant see), pope-less. Pope Benedict XVI resigned citing health reasons. First Pope in over 600 years to resign. Strangely, this one didn't make me as sad as when John Paul passed. Probably because John Paul…
Labor of Love
I’m still curious how a “hey dad, let’s celebrate Mr. getting a new job with a Starbucks” turned into a 4 hour Lowe’s trip - with all the children - and the materials to build a porch roof, among things.Not that I am complaining at all! Just strange how that evolved somehow.Regardless, the mens spent…
Let the chaos begin
Again...Setting appointments to get estimates for the metal roof.And we know what that means - we have to decide and agree on a color and style...?! A color that we will have to live with for the 30+ YEARS. Yea, no pressure, right??Oh dear.And I get to be solo since Mr. just started a new…
