I know that I will look back on this time in my life and think," How did we make it through?" My husband is working a full time job, running a property management and real estate company, and being a general contractor on our new house. He leaves at 5:00 am, and doesn't come home until 8:00 pm every night. Wow. I have 3 rambunctious boys at home, run a catering business, run errands for the new house, cook clean, do laundry, entertain the kiddos, and am now on the Relief Society committee. Needless to say, a slowdown will be a welcome change in a few months.
So blogging about this journey I think will be important to future posterity. They can see that Grandma and Grandpa didn't always have it so easy. Good thing we are young while all of this is happening.
So we got our building permit approved May 30, 2011. We worked on our house pad for 2 weeks and had the rough plumb put in June 4, 2011. We passed the inspection and are now digging footer trenches around the interior perimeter of the house to pour concrete for our monolythig pour. We also hired someone to put down gravel and rebar over the rough plumb. We ordered our vinyl windows yesterday and they should arrive on June 23rd. Our tile hasn't come in yet, but should be sometime today or tomorrow.
We should be able to start framing the place in 2 weeks and the framer's said it should only take 3 days to finish that. The we have a drywall guy lined up and ready to go. The only thing we need is an electrician and we already have 3 bids to look over.
It's all happening pretty fast. If we're lucky we might be able to be in by August. School starts August 8th so if we could be in there by then, we would be so blessed.
We have already been blessed more than we could ever imagine! We got over that ilness in record time and I got a new church calling that was tailor made for me. Chad's work is going pretty well, and we will have a place to live in 3-4 months!
