BIG updates!

Hi readers! Thanks for sticking with us even with the lack of posting. We have some big updates! The plumber finally finished all his work so we were able to schedule the inspection with the city. With the way everything else in this process has gone, I expected to fail this go round but I was wrong...we passed!! This meant that we could move forward with insulation which went in yesterday. Below are some pictures of the insulation being installed. Before the insulation went in some sweet friends of ours met at the house to write scripture on the framing. It is our heart that our home would be a safe place for people to gather and that it would be a sanctuary to anyone who needed it. What better way to start that off than covering the house in God's Word. There are some more pictures of just a few of the verses that our friends helped us write. The next few things on the list are to finish up the columns on the front, start sheet rock, and start painting! Hard to believe we are already at this step!

Stay tuned!

I'm also posting this from my phone so if the layout is all wonky, I'm sorry!

Snowy Rainy Update

Well...we're at a standstill again. We've had what seems like non-stop rain for a couple of weeks which has made getting trucks and equipment up to the house very difficult. We are just waiting on the plumber to finish a few little things before we can get the inspection done but if it doesn't stop raining, that could be a while.

In the meantime, my dad came over and helped us install audio speakers for the whole house so we can listen to music all over the house. Our doors are all in so we are close to being able to lock everything up. We've also been trying to decide on paint colors and some other finishing things that won't go in until the end. Feels like we have a while before all of that is necessary but maybe it will come faster than we think.

Sorry for the small little update. It's all we've got going on right now. On another note though, look at what came to town today! Snow!! It doesn't happen often so we love it when it does!

Hoping we have our inspection soon so that sheet rock can start going up! Then it will really feel like a house!
