House Progress Again

So i was quite excited to come home to this yesterday! I have been in Spokane, Sunday thru Thursday working at Deaconess labor and delivery to get some great experiences to bring back to Tonasket to add to my practice! I had a great time in Spokane, met some great colleagues and saw some amazing things!

When I got home yesterday afternoon, the house had been sided on the west and south side and the doors were put in and the roofing is complete on the west side.

The next step is to get a pad dug up for the cement pad where the under side of the 10footx50foot covered deck where will be. Once they get the pad site ready they will build the deck and then be able to roof and add siding and windows to the east and north side.
We are hoping once we are in the house that many of you will be visitors! We will love having the extra room around to entertain our friends and all our kidlets friends.

Hope to get to my craft room a bit and work on a few cards.... i have several birthdays coming up for several life long friends... including 30+ year friends! Wow that makes me feel very old...

Check back soon for some card creations i hope.... I would also like to start an album for the house....
Hope all is well in your neck of the woods...
Enjoy your beautiful spring days.

A Month Since My Last Post... Where does the time go?

So where to start.....
Well this is the house progress.... We now have real windows! They are working on the roofing right now.... Our doors arrived yesterday, but haven't been put in yet... they are in the front yard... I can't wait to see them in. That black plastic on the ground in this shot is to try to absorb heat so the ground thaws a bit quicker... they can't finish the roof until they have the 10 foot covered deck on, and they can't do that until they dig down a bit more.



Tony and I made our first big couple purchases this week.... One we found a fab deal on tile. So we bought enough for 1100 square feet... seems like a ton, considering it would just about fully tile our house we are in now :) heehee
We also went shopping at the furniture store and bought a few new items... a couch, loveseat and chair... sofa table and end tables... and 2 NEW lazy boy recliners... We haven't bought new furniture since about 15 years ago when we were first married and furnishing our first house we bought.... So it was RATHER fun....

My whole family has been sick, not me yet... I keep getting a little sick and then drink several emergency packs to keep my immunity up... so far so good. Tori was the sickest of the bunch... fever for over 10 days... today is her first day back to school.... And today she turned 8! Where has the time gone?!

Well drop me a line and let me know how ya'll are doing.... :)
Hope to craft a bit in between decorating a cake and doing laundry and babying my sick hubby....
