Progress

So, while Gpa's away in Georgia, Gma, Hayley and Ellie went to see if any progress had been made and....holy cow!  It's going to be a house!

It's a great view, this is where the garage will be.

The very proud, soon to be new homeowner.

Ellie thinks this is where she can ride her toys while Gpa works out in the basement.  (of course, the floor has to be poured first)

This is where the septic field will be, and where the baseball and football will be played.

Gma is wondering where to make Gpa put a garden, and where the dogs will play.  (just don't mention burro to her)

Where the walkout basement walks out.  Exciting to see it take shape.  Cool faux brick look in the concrete too.

We're excited to move in later this summer.  Anyone that wants to help move is more than welcome.

Spring has sprung....

We took a trip down to the new homestead last month, no movement; something about permits...blah, blah, blah.....

Ellie came too to see where Gma and Gpa would live someday.

Lots of trees around it, loads of potential, just needs a house...and us.

The girls survey the land.

...a driveway right about here...

Pighini Builders, we hope so.

So we went back on Saturday, 08 May, and guess what? They're started!!!!

Two thumbs up for this one!

A view from what will be more or less the backyard.

Kind of feels like home already.

Turn 3 of the future 4-wheeler track.

We did some work in the dining room at the current place, getting ready to rent it out.

The chair rail and some paint looks nice. Betsy is in charge of the painting, I'm the cheap, reluctant help.

And a new dishwasher cause the old one was on its last legs.

Tucker thought it looks nice as well.

Ellie always has an opinion on everything.

We also went to Richmond International Raceway for the big Nascar race. Betsy wanted to try out her seat 4 hours before starting time. Apparently, our new friends did too (we don't actually know them).

We also tailgated, well, in our own way. No beer of course, just pop and snacks, and crocheting and music....wow, we're exciting. But we really enjoyed our day.

Go Jeff!!!

Gpa had to try out his seat as well. Good view of the Start-Finish line from here.

It was a night race, the 18 car won, and our favorite came in 2nd.

Jeff led for a big part of the race...just not the lap that counts, the last one.
