Last Update

Today they started texturing our walls and our over head garage doors are in, the siding has come, but no sign of siders! :(

School will be starting shortly so that means homework, so i'll be pretty busy. I won't have time to update our blog. If you would like to see our house, we would like to have visitors!

Our House is planned to be done between September 17-22!

Thrusday, August 7, 2008

Our regular construction crew got their trailer hooked up and were on their way to another house! The plumbing guys finished today also! It is planned to be insulated on Monday and by Tuesday or Wednesday they will start sheetrocking!
Although they were hard at work today, you can't really tell what they got down so no pictures today!

Everyday since the first day they started working on our house if they aren’t working I ask my mom why and I think she is probably getting really annoyed!! :) They got the footings and the walls poured and backfilled in. Now they have to do a little plumbing and electrical work before they can pour the floors and start framing! WE CAN’T WAIT! WE ARE GETTING SO EXCITED!!!!

Top 10 Things to get used to while living in a camper!!

Kitchen/Eating Area/Living Room
Mom and Dad's Room
Shower and Parent's Bathroom
Mine and Sever's room
Mine and Sever's Bathroom (No shower)

10. Smoke alarm--can’t even make toast without it going off
9. Propane oven--burnt pizza on bottom, but still raw on top
8. Blowing fuses--too many appliances at one time (3 or more)
7. Short showers--5 minute showers before the water gets cold, that means its hard to shave your legs.
6. Hogan’s Heroes--Dad’s addiction! He keeps recording them on our DVR. :(
5. No phone/internet--thank goodness for cell phones/neighbors!!!
4. Short beds--even for our short family, our feet touch the wall at the end of the bed
3. Hard/thin mattresses--like sleeping on hard cement floors
2. Camper shaking--every time you walk across the floor or jump on the bed it shakes
1. LITTLE SPACE--too much togetherness!!
