Today was a race to beat the rain. We lost. We are very blessed to be doing this adventure relatively close to friends and family, a 30 minute drive to the farthest point. We needed something at that point today. Since we were there anyway, we decided to wash some laundry and hair (4 girls…

Gravel delivered at 3:30. Sigh. Or so we thought. They didn't have us on the schedule for pick up, instead it would be later in…

We still have 2 days left with the bobcat, we can clear and level more and deal with the foundation Wednesday or Thursday after it goes back. Heading out to the…
