Giants and Bunco room

The walkway to the Man Cave!!! Future Giant games and poker nights! Who is he kidding? This is the future Female Escape for Bunco! Neither of us may not even have friends by the time we are ready to use this room at the rate we are going and if we do, we owe a ton of paybacks!! We will be hosting every event!!!

The hallway made Quinton's room smaller but I actually like it better because it looks more even. The room was long and odd before.

Radiant Heating

The men have started installing the floor heating system. They say it should be done in two weeks! They better because we are gonna freeze. We have borrowed electric heaters for our one room but the bathroom is still soooo cold! I think it is about 25 degrees everyday! We plug in heaters, crank up the shower so it steaming hot then take our showers!! It's a joke...

Plenty of help for Zan

The kids love helping, we are ripping the sheetrock off the rest of the existing house so we can remove the old insulation. We are having foam insulation installed this week. Below, you can see the Mac children over also pitching in and loving knocking down the walls!

Grass is Planted

The old owners would be so upset with us. We cut down all the trees on the side yard then Blaine wanted the last little Apple tree cut down! He said he needed room to play kickball!! I later remembered that I bought a bunch of huge ornaments to hang in the tree at Christmas!! UGH

We planted grass...hopefully not to late in the season. keep your fingers crossed for us, we need a little luck.

We even get help from the neighbors

Chance is our "little helper", he loves putting on gloves and helping daddy! Blaine, we have to bribe a bit! The neighbor was helping us out this day, the tree trunks that were all buried in the trench pipe had to be cleaned up so we could plant grass! The boys worked so hard....

Santa puts in front porch post

Where, where is Santa???? He flew in from the North Pole to deliver my front porch as an early Christmas gift! I LOVE it, now I can sip hot chocolate and watch the kids play! Santa also leveled off the yard so we could have grass planted!

the old trench pipe

We had more trees removed and this is what we discovered! More trouble!! Our drainage pipe had a root growing in it! We placed two new ones and with NO trees in the yard, it better not happen again!
