New Home Progress

Susan at A Southern Daydreamer is the gracious hostess for Outdoor Wednesday. If you'd like to join in, all you need do is to post pictures of anything that that might be found outdoors.

Two months ago we moved from South Florida, our home for over forty-five years. We're currently living in a rental while our new home is being built. We're close enough that we go "visit" every day.

This is a shot taken last week after the plumbing (the white pipes) was put into place. Then, the vapor barrier was laid down.



Last Thursday, we were thrilled to see that it had been poured! This shows our front entrance.




Monday, we were so excited to see the men beginning to lay blocks!




Yesterday morning, this shot was taken. The builder called us in the afternoon to report that all the blocks were laid. It's beginning to look like a house!

I know the heart has to beating faster every time you go and see how far they have come...we will be looking for Christmas decoration there.

Sally, what would I do without you. If I had checked it like you told me once before this would not have happened again. I did not and I was very tired last night after a long weekend trip. Thank you again. Hang in there. As you know ,when your house is all finished you will think it is worth all the wait and problems that may arise.

If this is exciting for us to read about and watch, I can only imagine what you and your husband must be feeling!

A new house how lucky you are.
And to be able to watch it being built daily must be fun. And of course make you anxious to move in !
Take care

Great Sally, I'm glad to hear this news. I have been intending to ask you if they are getting on with building your house. I know you're excited about it. I hope you have better internet access when you get there. I remember when we had the old AOL dial-up connection and a slow computer. It was maddening.
Happy O.W.
Charlotte

Yeah Rah, Sally... I think you may have a new home sometime!!!!! That reminds me SO much of my son and daughter-in-law's home in Texas. They built their home ---and the beginnings looks so similar to yours.

OH! Sally, I am so excited for you both, seeing this reminds me of when we built our home ten years ago, and how exciting it was to see, from day to day, it being transformed into this beautiful structure that we would later call home.
I am so looking forward to going along with you on this adventure.
Blessings,
Sue
