We've got the power....electricity that is

The floor joists are finished, the floor is on and we have electricity at the site! It may not be a long list of things accomplished but it is a very satisfying list. The kids were thrilled to be able to run around on the floor and go into each room. They all laid down on their beds, we sat at the dining room table, played computer games at the desk, took drinks out of the fridge...I think you get the idea. A few pretend walls were bumped into and a few minor heart attacks happened watching Bethany get a little close to the edge of the staircase. I asked Ron if we could put a banister around the entire staircase hole so I don't have to freak out every time she gets within 5 feet of it! I don't think we'll take her back to walk on the house until it's a bit safer.

This picture is taken from one of the back corners of the house. Talk about open concept! The kids think the "outdoor plumbing" toilet could just be moved inside when the walls are built and that would be the easiest room in the house to complete.

The kids took the only opportunity they will get to jump on our bed!

The wall package is supposed to be delivered tomorrow morning, however, rain is being forecasted for 4 out of 5 days this week so we'll see what can be accomplished. I am really tired of the rain and feel bad for Josiah and his crew because it not only delays our house but any other projects that they have lined up for the summer, which are usually outdoor projects because the weather is supposed to be warm and sunny. Those days will come I guess, we just need to be patient. After the rain we got on Tuesday (2 inches) it was a very beautiful week which lifted everyone's spirits and we could almost forget about all the rain that came earlier.
