It's starting to look like a house...

The outside walls on the bottom floor are done, and it's starting to look like a house!

This is our reinforced safe room. You can't be too careful in the middle of tornado alley. It's also going to double as a storage room.

Yikes!

We stopped by one day to bring Nick lunch, and he happened to be doing some work with the track hoe. Grant asked if he could drive, and to Grant's surprise (and mine) Nick said sure. He put him up there, told him how to work everything, and turned him loose on the back of our lot. Grant had a great time digging up our back yard.

We have a foundation!

We've had lots of progress this week. We now have underground plumbing...

and a foundation!!! Framing starts tomorow!
