It’s all about the house

 

That’s how our life feels right now. It’s all about building the new house, or trying to sell the one we are in. It’s very busy, but also fun picking out cabinets, flooring, doors, lights, etc.

We will be moving into our new home some time this month! But it has been a long process getting here. We had a very cold winter this year (like most people I know), so building was extra slow during that time.

First they dug for the basement.

The kids were digging for fossils in the dirt walls.

This is our neighbors basement. It’s two stories deep since they have a basketball court down there. (Not full court – just big enough for a 3 point line).

Then forms for the basement walls were put in place.

And then they filled them with concrete. I loved the huge crane they used to do this!

A couple days later the forms were taken off and we had a basement! It was so hard to believe looking at this space that there was going to be 2 bedrooms each with small walk-in closets; a full bathroom; a family room; a storage room and a game closet.
