The Big Snow

Well it has been an eventful week or so in our housebuilding process! Last week the crew got a lot done in finishing the foundation and putting down the subflooring. Here were some of the pics we got during the week of December 14th:

Bobby's good friend Rob came up to visit and also came to visit the house site:

and this is when Rob said, "Look! There's a quarter!"

and then....The Big Snow Came!!

It started on Friday morning. Schools were closed because we were under a winter storm warning. Bobby took me to work and then went out to the land. They were trying to lay as much sub-floor as the could before the big snow hit. It flurried from about 8:30 until 11am, but then the big snow started. It snowed for about 3 days straight. Here are a couple pictures from our current residence of the snow:

On Monday, we were finally able to dig ourselves out so that we could go visit the new construction. There we shoveled out our living room, dining room, bathrooms, kitchen, etc.. in the hopes that the rest of the week will bring good weather for the guys working on the house!!

I have never shoveled so much snow in my life!! It has left me sore in places I didn't think you could be sore :)

In addition, we also met with our builder Mark to talk about doors and windows this week, and made our requests. I am always amazed at the number of choices...grilles, no grilles, grilles inside the windows,3 ft, 4 ft, how high off the ground, strange shapes or not, what color the trim needs to be, how many on the front of the house, how many on the back, and the options go on and on! I think we made smart choices but I guess we will find out soon!

We are getting ready to head out the door to see if our shoveling paid off! Merry Christmas friends and family!!
