Leraning

I Figured it out, finally I know how to write in between the pictures. Today was a pretty slow day just trying to do the little things that needed to be done before we could move on to the fun stuff once again. We have a few more interior walls to be built in the office area then will start working on the stair case so we can move up to the 2nd story. We have to plumb all the walls in the next few days before we can set the floor joists and then it will be back to framing. Today was windy all day long and Dad, Worley and I had had enough by the time we were done tonight. Hope your all having a wonderful time. Love you, from the North Texas Family

I NEED HELP!!!

Could one of you bloggers please help me in how to post pictures like you all do? Kristi, I don't get what you said, I have tried to type then move the pics around and the next thing I know the pics are gone or my text is covered up. Hope your all having fun, we are down here and as soon as I dump the pics from my camera of the last two days I'll put some new ones up. We have all the downstairs exterior walls frammed and up and have a few interior walls to go and then we will be moving upwards.

Still Framming








I still do not understand how to type around the pictures or underneath them one at a time but atleast I finally got some new pictures up. I will understand this bogging thing by the time we are done with the house I hope!!! This is the longest wall in the house with Nina and Worleys bedroom on the far end and the office on the front end of it.

This is going to take some work figuring out how post individual comments on each picture but atleast is shows you some of the progress made thus far!







First post of many to come I'm sure. This is hopefully going to show you the beginning stages of the house. Today is our 2nd day framing and are moving along pretty good and everyone is starting to catch on and get in the rhythm of things.
