We started working on the house last weekend. We still didn't have electric so there was only so much we could do. First was to move dirt into the trench around the inside of the foundation. This would have been done by the excavator but he isn't coming back until he can dig the septic and we don't want to wait for that. So after ?? loads of mud (yes, it was mud), we had the whole trench filled.
While Mom, Eric and I (and Tanner) worked on that Dad was making the sill plate and planning and preparing to make the beam. Madison was Dad's "go for" and she had a great time. We got alot accomplished until we realized that the pillars weren't all the same height.
We did realize that we needed to get some type of electric, sawing wood by hand is just too tiring, and I was just watching Dad.

About Me
- Jenn
- I am the mother to 3 of the most wonderful children, Morgan, Madison and Tanner. I started homeschooling them back in 2003 and it has been the most wonderful adventure we have taken. I have learned a lot over the years and it has taken our family from living right outside the city to living in the country doing our best to live off the land. We strive to live and eat as naturally as we can, although sometimes the kids would rather not. This is my attempt to stay in touch with family and friends and often just to laugh at myself.
