progress is sweet...

renting this house is NOT! have i mentioned to any of you that i am OVER this situation? if i clean this house, it still doesn't look clean. i miss my home. big time. chris has been working his tail off at the new house (we call it mona, after the street). anyway, mona is coming along well. it's amazing how much work you can get done when you put in 12 hour days and eat dinner at 9 o'clock about every night. love you, hon. thanks:)
wanna see the progress?? i need to get over and take more pics, it changes by the day and it already looks different. the roof has shingles, the framing is almost done.
before shot. needs work.

tore off the roof. we're gonna raise that baby.

taking time to visit dad for dinner.

adding some height to the house.

ta-da! new roof!

back of the house with a view of the nasty addition. can someone please tear it down??

thank you scott:)

roof, front view, with paper. sorry no shots of the shingles. i bet if you close your eyes you can probably imagine how great it looks with them on.

It's looking great! I am so impressed that your hubby knows how to do all of that! I know it's his job, but it still is pretty neat. Here's to hoping the chaos ends soon!

Heidi it looks great. You and Chris have great vision- I would have never thought to raise the roof. Hang in that rental- think how great your beutiful new home will be and only one more move- I am so jealous. Missed you lately by the way!!

Okay..."mona" was this ghost story/tradition at our girls camp every year that made you scared out of your wits, so whenever I hear it, read it...I cannot help but think about it...maybe if I call your new house mona I'll have pleasant thoughts because it is looking awesome, I'm so excited for you!!!
