Some nice weather finally!!!

Today was a great day for working on the house. It is just below zero, but with very little wind. The styrofoam insulation was put into the garage this morning, and hopefully the gravel for the basement and garage will be brought in tomorrow--we'll see though. Monday's always seem to be the busy days at Burnco!! Todd filled in dirt in the areas he needed to, so the rock thrower should be able to get in tomorrow as well to put in the gravel for the weeping tile. Todd is hoping to finish the backfilling on Wednesday or Thursday. That will make it a lot easier for working on the house.
As it was nice out today, Todd worked on getting some of the sheeting on the sub floor. The boys and I were out there around 1:00, and Todd had put on 4 sheets already. I was able to help him (finally, something I can help with!!!) by putting in the screws while he continued to put the glue on and lay down the sheets. We probably ended up with about 8 sheets total by the time the boys and I left (2:30ish). The boys thought it was pretty neat to be able to be up on the house!!!
It is great to see the kids enjoying themselves out at the lot!! They love running around, climbing the dirt piles, playing with their big trucks, and helping out. I'm sure they will love it when we are out there permanently.
I'll try to remember the camera tomorrow, so that I can post a few pictures. It is really exciting to see things taking shape. We should hopefully get lots done this week, as it is supposed to be really nice out. Maybe we can even get a few walls up toward the end of the week!!!! I think Todd and Dad L will work by themselves until Wednesday, at which point Dad H might be able to be back to help as well (he is currently down at Dayna[Todd's sister] and Mike's completing their electrical work). If anyone is around this weekend, and is looking for something to do, please feel free to come on down!!!! I promise some good meals, and a warm place to sleep!!!
