Perhaps no more shoveling....

Although this winter has made progress very slow, we had a slight break in the snow last week. We were able to see some progress, particularly on the roof! Last weekend we took our friends Tom and Pilar out to see the house. This was about the 20th time we had tried to take them out there, and finally the weather cooperated! Here is Bobby giving the tour:

Pilar is excited she finally got to come out and see the house!!

Tom is checking out the view from the living room window. The next few pictures show the roofing that has been completed. The first is a view over the living room:

This last one is looking out the living room window on to the front porch towards the dining room. 

We really enjoyed getting to hear from Pilar and Tom, as they just finished building a house in the past year, so they gave us some good advice on some things we had not even thought about...like where to put your air vents!

And here was the view from the bottom of the driveway:

On Tuesday of this week, the day after his birthday, Bobby took his sisters, Anita and Kyra, as well as 2 of our nephews, Cameron and Brandon, out to see the house. Here are some pics from their adventure!

From left to right are Anita, Brandon, Kyra, and Cameron

This is Anita in the living room, but notice Kyra peeking through from the Breakfast Area :)

Here are the boys looking out towards the front porch

This is a picture Anita took from Castleford Road. On this date, they had roofing over the garage, master bedroom, closets, and bonus room, plus the front half of the rest of the house. Since it is snowing today, we hope that the shoveling will be a little bit less this time! We are so glad they've been able to work at all on the house, but we are ready for winter to release its grip on Boone so we can really get going on the rest of the house!!
