House Update

Well I'm finally getting around to posting an update on the house. In the last several months we've gotten a lot done, although it may not seem that way! Joe has been busy workiing his day job as well as his "side job" and trying to work on the house in any spare time he has...which is pretty much non existent. Over the past few months we've had gravel delivered, concrete poured, forms poured, a driveway/whistle put in, and lumber for the floor bought. First we had gravel delivered and my dad & Jason came out to help spread it around in the building and help build our driveway.



Joe's brother Bo came out for awhile too and helped us water down the dirt to help pack it.

 

Packing down the dirt.



Jude helped too.



 Then came time to start preparing for concrete. First the concrete guys layed down plastic and metal...

They came and poured concrete while I was at work so I have no pictures of that actual process. But below is the finished project! A perfect skating rink.

After they poured concrete in the building they poured concrete around the whistle so it will be nice and strong when we get all those heavy rains in the spring!

And again, the finished project. Except for the gravel...we still have to put more gravel down.

Shortly after the concrete, Joe, Jason & Justin took a roadtrip to Nebraska to get the lumber for our flooring. It's quite the load!

The most recent thing has been pouring the concrete forms for the floor. We are so blessed to have friends and family to help us out. Jason came and helped Joe get all the forms done in one day.

And that's where we are so far! Joe plans on starting on the floor in a few weeks. More updates to come!
