The House - An Introduction

We have neglected to mention a BIG ongoing project. It is a project that started last fall and is still going. The project has been interrupted with calving, a baby, haying, weather, and life in general. This project is the building of Joe and Larissa's house.

It is going to be wonderful when it is done! So we will go back in time a little bit here to see some of the work in progress. To date, it has most of the roof on and the doors and windows mostly in. We will show some more recent photos in a couple of weeks.

So last fall, the footings were poured

Fast forward to the crawlspace being poured. Then the floor joists, floor, and a round of logs.

Here is Ris last fall. She was prego then. I think that she was going to try to not go into labor until the house was done. Good thing she just went ahead and had the baby.

Here is a picture of some of the crew. By the way, family, friends, or absolute strangers are welcome to show up on any given weekend to hang out, i.e, work on the house!

Uncle D is good help!

Sometimes breaks are taken. Annie and Dad take another break.

Below is a picture from last fall. You can see Ris was really starting to doubt that the house would be done before Randen was born.
