Farm House


We are in the process of building a new "house" in Clay County. We started working on it a few months ago, but the real building process began on May 22, 2009. We had done some clearing and such before that, but that is when the concrete people were ready to move in.


This is looking at the walkout in our new basement...with Glen doing the supervising...The first half of the digging was done on May 25th...they finished the digging the next day.

They started setting the forms on May 31st. We are anxious to get the real walls in place. It has been a rather slow process because of all the rain that we have had. They got all the house walls set the same day and then came back the next day to set the shop walls.

The walls have been poured! They did a really good job! They poured them on June 4th, after yet another rain delay. We're anxious to get onto the framing, but it sounds like that won't be happening until around August 1st...the framers are behind due to rain also.


This is a view of the house looking from inside the shed. We are looking west towards the road. The shed is on the backside of the house, so we are looking across the house...the front of it being the farthest away.

Another trip

Glen and I just got back from a business trip...that we actually enjoyed. We extended on the front part of the trip. We went to Orlando, Florida for the first few days. We went to Epcot and lots of flea markets, and we were just plain lazy. On Monday, the real trip began...we headed out for Jackson, Mississippi. We had never been there before, so it was neat to see another state. While Glen was in meetings, I tried to "be good" and stay out of trouble. On the second day, I rented a car and drove to a little town of Dekalb, Mississippi...so small that no one could figure out why I bothered. What they didn't know is that there is a very crowded and wonderful quilt shop there. I didn't do TOO much damage, but our bags were almost to the limit flying home! Needless to say that we are tired and glad to be back home. And yes...I will try to add some pictures for the Hawaii trip asap!! :)

Hawaii Trip










We made it back from Hawaii and I am finally going to try to get some pictures up from the trip. I am not the best photographer, but at least it might give you an idea what the area looked like. It was a great trip...we stayed at Hapuna Prince Beach Resort...
