Vacation time coming soon. Pictures to follow!!!

Yes, the little man is excited.

So far we’re having good success with Levi and his potty training. He’s got the pee part pretty much so down, and knows he has to go poop on the toilet. It’s just him realizing a it’s okay to poop while sitting on the potty.

It’s that time. Pray for us. I’m on vacation and the wife and I have decided it’s potty training time. No, not for us, for Levi. Well sorta for us (and our sanity). I’ve got a weeks vacation (staycation) scheduled plus a long holiday weekend to get this done.

So, they’ve started work on the house.  Which is fantastic.  You can see progress on the Building a home page.

Thanks to everyone that’s prayed for Dani this week.  Her headaches have subsided, and she’s finally starting to recover.

We’re building!!!!!!

Yes, Danielle and I have finished the final paper work and Jagoe Homes will be breaking ground on our home in just a few weeks.

We will have a new page up so you can follow the progress as we post pictures and updates.  So keep an eye out for it.

Happy New Year to each and every one out there.

May God bless you all abundantly this year, may He protect you throughout the year, and may you lean on Him in times of troubles and hardship.

So, we recently (okay, a few months ago) had a small problem of a busted pipe in a wall.  The result; a moldy closet that needed cleaning out.  And I do mean cleaning.

So, we had a company come in and help us clean the closet.  Okay, they actually did all the cleaning, I just mainly let them in the house and watched while they worked.

Once the wall was done and the crawlspace was clean (stang, no pictures), it was time to finally put the wall back up.  My brother in Christ Kevin Naas came over after helping me get the drywall boards from Lowe’s.

That’s Kevin in the side of the picture, and that’s the first board to be going into place.  Measure, cut, re-measure because the studs aren’t exactly right (okay, they’re way wrong!) and soon the closet looked like this.                                      

A little bit of taping……    

followed by some mudding,

and the closet looks pretty done.  Well, sorta.  That was day one.  Day two included mounting our new pantry shelves.  After dusting myself by sanding down the mud in a confined space (note to self, mud dust will tend to float into the office and coat EVERYTHING), it was time to mount the rails.

Then the shelves…. 

I discovered that it was a lot easier to put the support arms on the shelves on the floor, then mount the whole thing.  Eventually, it the closet looks like this;

Project, done.

Well, the latest portion of our home improvement is completed.

What was the last portion?  I guess I forgot to update you on that one.  We had a busted showerhead pipe that ruined part of a wall in a closet.  Of course, we didn’t’ figurer that out until we had the drywall removed and finally found the source of the leak. 

So, we’ve had a ruined wall torn out, a busted pipe joint replaced and repaired (two days of no showers wasn’t a lot of fun), and we’ve had the crawlspace cleaned of debris, some mold removed and treated for, and a vapor barrier put down.

Now to fix a ceiling.

Anyone know what time it is? That’s right, its Christmas-time!!!!!

Merry Christmas and happy New Year to all.
