Hello all. I am officially going to try and become a blogger.( Thanks to my cousin Kali) I am not sure how well I will be at it but I thought this would be the easiest way to keep everyone updated on our new adventure. On September 8th, Damon and I began building a new house together. It will be here in Butte on Primo Ave. We are very excited but it definitely is going to be alot of work. We are building it ourselves. Damon would laugh that I say we are building it but I am doing the best I can. I did move concrete panels for many hours the other day. So far things have went fairly well. Since starting on September 8th, we have the hole dug, the basement foundation concrete poured, water and sewer to the house and the garage foundation ready to pour concrete. I have found that I will be very glad when the concrete is done. It is alot of building up and then tearing down. I will be glad when we aren't tearing down everything we build. I hope you enjoy the pictures I have attached. Sorry they are in the wrong order but I am just learning how to blog. Next time I will have it right. (I hope!!) My dad has been a huge help!! I am so thankful for him helping because I do have a few wussy bones in my body. He was able to help pour the basement foundation when I could not walk on the foundation walls to help pour them. Damon was also very thankful :> I will try and post frequently with updates and new pictures of our progress so each blog is not so long. If any of you are ever bored, come on over, we can put you to work. Bye for now!!
