week 3 of the house

we have had some complications so far,,, as usual. We were using power for all of the power tools and such, but Monday afternoon, when everyone went to lunch, the power company cut our power. Now we need to get an inspection, which we will fail, before it is turned back on. So it has slowed us down 2-3 days. our neighbors were nice enough to let us borrow some power this week so we could keep working. The new framing is all complete so we will be starting on putting up the outside walls again,,, yeah my house has walls. We hopefully will be starting on the addition by next week. This first part of putting in the new studs for the old ones is the most tedious work. i think that it looks really good. David has been working like a dog. I am so proud of him to be building this house with his own two hands... your a stud.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sorry you have to experience the saying "if something can go wrong, it WILL." THE power? Who would have thought?
Well, the wood looks a good nice light brown color........instead of the dark brown black color!!

Guys.....Sure looks like lots of hard work, but there is a lot of pride in building your own home! Sure wish I could be there to help out.
Lots of love!
