We have walls. Some anyways.
The garage walls are all up. They still need windows framed out and the shear needs to be done – but it looks pretty garage-ish. On the house, the exterior walls are almost all up. Same thing with the windows on that part. In fact, on [...]
What a busy couple of days its been. Spent much of Thursday and Friday out at the property. Some of that time working, and some fighting fires. Generators not working, questions needing to be answered, materials we didn’t have…
Heading up early this morning to go at it again.
As [...]
I flew the helicopter – a few times actually. You can just hover it around the living room, until it either hits the ceiling or the wall, or one of the kids. Or the cat. Which we don’t have, but if we did I think it would have been really terrified.
My point [...]
Well, looks like the framing will start on Thursday. The floor joists are in, and the plumber is finishing up by Wednesday. We’ll get that inspected Thursday morning and then get moving. I’ll probably work out there all day Friday and Saturday with the rest of the gang. Insane.

I think we’re probably insane. I don’t expect much argument from anyone out there in the peanut galleries, but should you be considering mounting a defense of me, let me first tell you what we’ve gotten ourselves into.
We’re going to frame the house.
And we’re going to do it in a couple of [...]
Things are plugging along. We’re staying sane, which is good. I once heard someone say that when you go from two kids to three, its like going from a Man to Man defense to a Zone defense. I’ve extended that analogy to say that we’ve now gone from a Zone defense to [...]
So yeah, as if this week wasn’t full enough of activity, as of this afternoon, our new house has a foundation. They poured this morning. Someone stop the world, I need to get off for a couple of minutes.
Oh and have you ever heard anyone say that once you make it to [...]
Thought I’d share this – from some shots Sarah took while she was waiting for me to come pick them up from the hospital.
Home now and trying to settle into the insanity of having four kids. Yes – it is insanity, but then you knew that.
This morning, I read this in my [...]
