Art for my New Kitchen

I just ordered this poster from blimpcat at http://www.etsy.com/ for my new kitchen.

I am in love with yellow and gray and I couldn't resist this.

 Now to find the perfect frame.

Julia Child is one of my favorites!!

Plumbing

I made a YouTube video about some of our plumbing.

All you do is push the play button and you can watch it!

I hope you enjoy it.

It is all coming together, slowly but surely.

Rock Wall

This is the first of some house videos that I plan on making.

 I hope you enjoy it!

The pictures that I have taken of this wall does not do it justus.

I am imaging all sorts of fun times out here.

Here is a picture of the stairs.

Shafer says, "Let's play king of the mountain!"

Since I am not a very good photographer, I decided to make a video so you can see how massive this wall is.

I never realized how often I say "Awesome".

Sorry.

Massive Rock Wall

Yes, we are still working on the new house!!

We are working on some landscaping and ground work so all the water from rain or snow goes away from the house instead of toward the house.

This is a massive stone wall.

It is at the walk out from our basement.

It takes some heavy machinery to get these rocks lifted and put in place.

This is the finished project.

I am in love with it!!

Now we need to get the other side done!!

Big Rocks for the Retaining Wall

We are getting ready to put in a huge rock wall before the winter weather hits.

Here is a load of big rock that Will (our rock man) is going to use.

Madison is trying to act like she is picking up Shafer. But it is not working very well!

This is where the rocks are going.

Another posed shot.

 What total hams!

!

Now this picture here is a real action shot!

I like to never have gotten that rock off me!

Now that's how you take a picture with the rocks!!

Street to House Plumbing

We are getting stuff done around here for the new house.

Here are some pictures of the plumbing going in.

This is our line hooked up to the city's meter.

Dig, Dig, Dig!  

We are putting a bathroom in the barn, so we now have water and sewer hooked up to the barn . 

 

 This is our connection to the new house.

And I have water to the garden!!!

No more lugging the three water hoses to the garden spot!

Yay!!

 

 Aren't the tress getting beautiful!?

 Big Ran has the sump pump in.

  

 Tonight they are starting on the big rock wall down by the basement walkout.

I will post pictures on it soon!!

Footings for the Basement

I first blogged this post last summer.

Yes, we have news on the progress of the new house.

Over the last few weeks we did get some things started. There is a hole dug for the basement.

The footings have been mapped out.

.

And poured.

  WRONG!!

  Do you see all that space to the right of the picture here?

  The footings were supposed to go out 5 more feet.

So we had to break some of it up and pour some more!

We start pretty early around here!

The new correct footings are in and now the walls go up.

Now Big Ran and I get to tar the basement walls.

  We started this project after I got home from work around 3:00 pm in 100 degree heat.

Needless to say, I didn’t last very long!

'

Shafer looks pretty tiny in there looking for a place to raise his leg and relieve himself.

That is our 15 foot walkout from the basement to add a little light down there.

It has been a productive summer, slow but sure.

Shafer is always helping.

 He doesn’t want to miss a thing.

The plumbing starts in a couple of weeks.

 Stay tuned for more exciting adventures!!
