Anne Frank's diary


If anyone has been to the Holocaust Museum in DC, you will know the Anne Frank section is very moving. I found this sight that brings to life the way she survived in the "secret Annex" during WW II.

Bath Redo


We had a plan from the original Architecturals. But after we saw i framed, we are worried that the shower was to small. Its so hard to look at the plans and envision what it will be in reality. So, after talking to Gary, we are going to change it around. This plan shows what we want to do instead.

Porch Goes Up



The porch has been framed enough that we can walk out from the French doors we put in 7 years ago. The roof trusses are supposed to go up this week.

Up in No TIme



After the concrete floor was poured, it took only 2 days to have a second floor. We still have to officially pick the new siding for the house. We have 2 picked out, but these may be over budget. I'll hopefully find out in a day or so. The roof may be up in a week if the weather holds.

Sunday




On Sunday while we went to church , the crew showed up again to do some work. By the end of the day, it seems they have finished the little retaining wall and garage wall/foundation.
