A Lot Has Happened!!

Chad, Levi, and Ida have joined us for two weeks. There has been lots of work and even more play being done! We are truly enjoying them being here and glad that they could come for so long this summer. Levi and Addison are playing on the new stairs that were built by Chad, Phil and Chris. The house is really coming along!!

Upstairs patio door. The guys had help from Karl, Bill, Kenny, and Bob putting in the windows. They are great workers and very lucky they are working on our home!! Thanks guys!

My favorite window in the house because it has a beautiful view. Come visit to see the view for yourself, it is AMAZING!!

Double Sided Closet built right as you come in from the garage! It is a very ingenious closet...great job Chad and Phil!!

The roof is done thanks to Karl, Bill, Kenny, Bob, and Gary! And Congrats Gary on getting married!!
