Change Log for Wednesday, April 29th
Met the propane guy and found out that there had been a miscommunication in the number of risers needed for our house. He didn’t have the right amount of materials, so he’s going to come back on Friday morning. Two steps forward, one step back… […]

Change Log for Tuesday, April 28th
The propane trench is dug and the area around the front of the house is graded. Now we shouldn’t have any water pooling up against the house. We went down and watched the tractor for awhile - Gregory in particular was quite excited. […]

Ran a burn pile for most of the day, trying to get rid of more construction debris. Made the kids happy by bringing down hot dogs, marshmallows and potatoes to cook in/on the fire for lunch. Emma did school on a makeshift desk by the burn […]

Prepped three doorways for door hanging by pounding in the nails, trimming back the drywall, and marking the hinge heights on the doors. Vacuumed up the mess I made by trimming up the drywall, the kids’ bath, and some of the […]

Change log for Thursday, April 23rd, 2009
I drilled holes in 15 balusters to prep them for installation in the first railing section.
I thought about several other projects upstairs, but Nathan woke up early so I moved to the garden. He is far too mobile to be trusted upstairs without a railing. Emma and I weeded […]

We got our kitchen sink today! It is HUGE - we should be able to bathe multiple children in it easily. Perhaps even all three of them at the same time. Thankfully it fits into our sink cabinet (not that we have a counter yet) and it looks great. I […]

Amber
Moved scrap wood with the kids away from the house […]

Today was a burn day from 9 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. so I burned construction debris for that entire period. I started with untreated wood scraps and then switched to manufactured wood after our fire roasted lunch. With my father-in-law’s help, […]
