It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...

Man it was GORGEOUS on Saturday! I actually had TOO MANY clothes on! :) I'm not going to bore you with what I did all day (you could just check my last five blogs...that's what I did!), but we are moving right along!

Tina's house has it's roof...I mean the actual ROOF on it! :) Plumbing and I think windows are coming in this week. Zhan's house will be sheeted and roofed this week. Robin and Ashlee's houses will get the trusses delivered. Nathan and Robert's houses are almost done with the second stories! Then we'll do the interior second floor walls on that one, and then trusses will be delivered.

And THAT, my friends, is six houses almost done with framing! HALF WAY THERE! :) YAHOO!!! :) I know those six houses are far from finished...but it's so fun to see how much progress we make. Ross said we'll be putting house wrap on Tina and Zhan's soon, and then siding. My educated guess is we'll start the 1295's next (but I don't actually know). I really enjoy being out there...although my ten hour day almost killed me Saturday! I've been thinking a ten hour day is better than having to go out two days in a row, but my shoulder may be disagreeing with me! :)

My favorite part is driving the kids up there. After the comment about how our house still looks like nothing (although we DID get slab on Thursday!), Clarissa starts shrieking about the Roof on Tina's house, the "triangles" on Zhan's house, and the framing on the other houses. Friday we drove past Ross on our way in to see the houses, and Clarissa said "Is that your boss?! Do you do everything he says?" :) I said "I try." And she said "I try to do everything you say, too, mommy. But sometimes it doesn't work out well". :)

Next weekend will be a little more low-key. Next week is spring break, and Ahren will want to go out during the week (because he can!) :) So we will probably only do a few hours on Saturday, and spend the weekend with the kids.

It is such a blessing. I love getting to know my neighbors more, learning more, getting stronger. It's hard work, the scheduling is a nightmare, and my body hates me the next morning. BUT, it is SO worth it.

So until next time,
HB

(I've been slacking in the pictures department. I'll get lots of pictures this week and post it to an album and link it. So fun!)
