Things are moving along with the house! Stu and Mick are really fast little workers! This is our front door now - Brick is 1.50 each - so they are trying to reuse as many as possible.
Houses here are built with one set of brick (grey), padding, then another set of bricks (red). It has been fun to see the inside of the house and how they build here.
The new footings are in! The extra room will be a larger kitchen, and where are current front door is will be their kids play room. The window Nick loves to look out will be the new front door area.
Stu was nice enough to let the boys help out. It started off by Stu asking Ben if he wanted to work for an hour with pay. Of course Ben jumped at the offer. When Andrew heard about a money making opportunity, he shut off the video game, ran outside, and just started working. It paid off for both boys! And they got to use power tools. A serious win for these boys.
Look at all the concrete they have pulled out!
It hasn't been a chore living here during the construction. It has been really fun to see how things move along. And when your nights end with views like this...
you really can't complain about anything. I'm going to miss this place.
