House Raising

Our neighbor at the Lake, called these the concrete mushrooms.  She emailed and said we had "concrete mushrooms" sprouting on our lot!





I am just going to put these photos in for now, and let them stand on their own!

I have been waiting for Himself to Blog.  I even offered him photos for him to write around but he has projects at both ends.  Not only is this cabin rising in northern Missouri but our heat pump is being replaced in southern Iowa.  In addition to that, he's working half days at OMC and trying to finish trimming the house.
We expect to make a trip down and back middle of this week and may get there again on Friday.  I would enjoy being there for the WHOLE thing but we are really busy and struggling at work, what with this "going paperless" project and I hate to turn my back!

Anyway, I am really liking this addition.  I didn't know it would be so big!  Himself says from the upstairs loft, one will be able to see over the little cabin.  It won't look "of a whole piece" probably until we can get the little cabin resided and the dogtrot added on.  But still, we will be able to use the livingroom and our first interior improvement, we hope, will be the bathroom with shower!  Anyway, lots to tell and lots to come and I know Himself will join us soon.
