Progress & Our Puppy, Cora B.!

(Our new dog, Cora Belle!)

Ohhhhh Readers, what a week it's been!

Patricia and I rescued Cora B. from the pound, she is mostly Corgi with a little twist. It was a somewhat tedious process of paper work, going to two different locations, but she has found a home with us and has fit right in with the Casablanca crew. 

Bright and early Saturday morning Dad and I started on the floor beams of the addition. It has now been four days since Saturday and my hands STILL cramp and my ham strings are still sore, but I am glad we've gotten things started. My Dad is amazing, I firmly believe there isn't anything he cant do or figure out and I hope to be lucky enough to learn/inherit just a fraction of what he can do! THANKS DAD!
I must admit its rather neat to see the progression...

Boy I wish I could just "montage" through all this construction to the end, but on the up and up my contractor is supposed to be coming back from Louisiana in just a few weeks and then this project is first priority!  This next weekend Dad and I are going to insulate the floor, and add the deck, we'll also be installing a PVC pipe drain in the back of the house to divert water around the side of the house, ya know- should it ever rain again...

*Sigh* piece by piece- it'll be nice someday!
