This was one of our very most exciting days! The first walls up. So much preparation had to go into making this day possible. The foundation is a cement slab and Carpenter had poured and set the footers along with the slab in late in 2001 before we ever moved out here - soon after we made the purchase of the acres. It sat for over 5 years before we were ready for the walls to sit on its sturdy base. We had to acquire the wood!
We're at the front door of HomeSweetHome
This has been CARPENTRY 101 for all our boys. Wow have they learned a lot and
become skillful carpenters beyond their years!
All winter before these walls went up in the Spring of 2007 Carpenter had been inside our big barn (he built that too - another post - another day) putting together window and door headers. You can see them all over the area here - this made putting up the basic wall structure go lightening fast.
This was April 20, 2007
Just over a week later
By June 24, 2007 they had accomplished to this point - just my Carpenter and his boys!
