I have several pictures of the process that I wanted to get on here. I will have to take some pictures of all the rooms now that they are finished and post them in another post. We have been cramming a bunch of things into our lives that have made it difficult to get everything put away and decorated. We moved in on a Friday, hosted dinner club the next evening, then drove the next weekend to Salt Lake to pick up Haylie's new bed. I hosted book club somewhere in there and emptied and sifted through a storage unit full of junk. This was all before school got out. I have spent the first week of summer prepping for a garage sale that we held today, and now it is on to getting ready to house around 20 family members for next weekend's family reunion that we are in charge of. The weekend after that we will have Dave's parents here for a visit. WOW! No wonder I am so tired! Anyway, on to the pictures of the house as a project.

| That is a lot of trusses! |
 |
| This was a slow part of the construction because nothing changed visually for a long time while Dave was hard at work running the electrical, and the plumbers and HVAC people got everything ready to go. This photo was taken in December. |

| The ugly railing Dave built to pass the inspection for our certificate of occupancy. It has already been torn down and turned into a workbench for the garage. We are waiting on the iron railings to be installed. |
