I am Alysha, the wife.
I know you haven't heard from be but I figured it was time. I would like to say I am the brains of the operation but well... ok so its true I am. Ok so maybe half the brains. I visualize and shop for materials. It may not sound like a big job to you but you probably have never had to decide what style of rib you want for the steel roofing or what type of septic tank or what to put as flooring in the main entry, yeah I thought so! I am a little daunted by it all as well.
I am trying to remember that if God brings us to it He will bring us through it!
I hope to be speaking to you all again.

Yes, we are still building a house!

It's been several weeks, but I've popped in to give a brief update. Yep, this is Toby and things have been busy enough to keep the mood up.
I have been working at putting the drawings into AutoCAD Architectural Desktop. Nifty program. Soon I will have something up for all to see. :P Yesterday wasn't too busy, but during the Christmas holidays John, Luke, and I cleared a lot of trees. Once again I bow to the chainsaw skill of John. And to the power of the chipper and tractor. Machines sure can come in handy. Today there was no house work getting done, but we did burn some wood. That was fun.. :)
So below are photos of the property and the woodpile burning..and Amos! He sure is getting big. :D
