Sheetrock!

The Sheetrock has arrived! Today the 'rocking' starts...It will take about 3 days to rock, tape, float and texture this stuff. Then the finishing carpenter will start! Will be in before Christmas! D & B

Wires and insulation

So the wiring and insulation are done. And now the sheetrock will come! Yeah! We'll be in this place soon! D & B

Plumbing!

We have plumbing! It is all done... now on to the electrical! Move in date is Dec 22. D & B

The Fish..

So Saturday we went up the creek and did a little crappie fishing. Bubba really need a little R & R. Bubba is holding up his catch minus one. I caught the rest...total 13 crappie and 2 catfish! Did I point out that I caught more than he did? D & B

The View from the water...

This is the view from the lake back to the house and garage. It is going to be a really nice place! Oh, we were in the boat when we took this picture... we went up the creek and did a little crappie fishing. D & B

A ROOF!

A roof! Now we are in the dry! The crew that roofed the roof did it in about 5 hours! D & B

Back Porch

This is going to be my back porch! It is wonderful! The openings are a window and french doors that look out over the lake. D & B

Hard Work...

I am doing the hard work! Pulling out all the old nails. Notice I'm only on the 2nd rung of the ladder....any higher up and Bubba would have to do this.

D & B

a new resident...

Well this is the new resident, she has been living in the new house by herself for the last 2 weeks. We don't know where she came from, but she seems to have adopted us. She is really smart and loving....Bubba says we have to keep her. Hmmmm. D & B

To the studs!

Since the left side is framed up, it is now time to tear out the right side. To the studs and stripped down. D & B

Rafters & Wall siding

So the rafters and the ceiling joice's are up and the siding is put on. Soon the decking will go on and she will be 'In the dry' D & B

Trim up the trees!

You can barely see him, but there is a man in the tree. He is cutting off the lower branches so we have a better view. He will be back to take out a tree in the front yard. D & B

WALLS...

And now comes the walls! Soon the rafters and roof... we are moving out on this house. D & B

Decking...

And then the plywood goes down for the sub floor! D & B

Foundation....

So after the trailer came out, now the floor foundation! YAH! D & B

Real Work Begins!

So much work to make this livable! Tomorrow the foundation will be laid and the back porch torn off. D & B

What a mess!

The old mobile being moved out, and what a mess! But now the real work begins! D & B

AND THE WORK BEGINS!

The men worked all day removing the sides and rafter. By the end of the day, the house had been cut in half so that the trailer can be pulled out! It will be a nice place when we are finished. (If I keep saying it, it will come true!) D & B

The new back porch poles are in the ground!
