Progress Report #1

Sooooooo much has happened this past week! We can't believe the progress the Lord has enabled us to make!







My Man digging down the entrance with the backhoe.

Lije's turn!

Getting the tin horn for the entry.

Elijah dancing! :P
The big tin horn for the creek in front of the house.


First load of many.

We work til sunset, or after, most evenings.
The sun setting behind the "mountains"!


Baby napping in the truck when it's cold...

Spreading some more rock.

Entry

Sunday afternoon we went out to the land to show some friends and family the progress the Lord had enabled us to make!

How many guys does it take to fix a backhoe? ;) David was able to get it fixed the next day thankfully! Now we just need to make sure we don't "pull a ______"!

The group on Caleb's hill.

Monday evening we got the re-bar in the footing.
And Wednesday morning we poured the footing!

Lilian got all keyed up watching!
You can see Lilian as the tiny thing in the distance above Micah's head...

There was about a yard leftover so we spread it on the driveway.

On Thursday the Build Block(the exterior walls) was delivered!

That about wraps it up so far! Caleb and Daniel started working on our stem wall Thursday night and we hope, Lord willing to finish it tomorrow after we help roof a family's house. We plan(Proverbs 16:9) to pour the stem wall on Monday morning. Then, it's up with the walls!!!
We have been very blessed with good weather and safety while working! Thank you for your prayers, we are greatly appreciate them!
"Set your minds on action, and be self-controlled..."
