Sheathing finished.

Remmi loves going to the new house to check things out! Up next is the roof trusses and sheathing for the roof. We are hunting for new lots to build on in Manhattan. We like the west side of town a lot and have a few on the short list.

Houston We Have A House

Nothing makes it look more like a real house than the main floor walls going up.

 

Floor joists and subfloor in!

I didn't get the walls updated, but Thursday they finished the basement walls. 

The floor joists are in and the subfloor is installed! Tomorrow they will get the main floor walls up. Get excited for updates. 

Walls going up!

House For Sale

The house is officially for sale. We wanted to make sure people driving by knew it was for sale even though it is far from being finished.

We also buried our St. Joseph statue today. My catechism teacher told me about the practice of praying to St. Joseph and the Communion of Saints as well as burying a statue at the house. I figured it definitely wouldn't hurt!

We are inviting St. Joseph, the head of the most perfect household, to help us pray for the selling of Sheldon's first home.

Basement done!

The basement is finally done!!! The storm shelter turned out really nice. Sheldon helped set the hollow core pre-cast concrete beams that run across it. They will pour a pad of concrete on top of that, but those beams make it safe to park cars on top of the storm shelter.

Picking Colors and Piling Dirt

We hauled a lot of dirt the last few days. I will have to show you the lot in a couple days...it looks different!

We are in the process of picking everything for the house. I really hope we are met with an offer on the house just as soon as I've spent so much time choosing the right colors!!! It wouldn't bother us one bit to let the future homeowners make it custom!
