Finally! House pictures!

Ok, so I am finally getting around to posting pictures of the progress on our house. Things are moving along really well. We're still hoping to be in by sometime in November. It has been so much fun to watch it go up. I have to go up everyday and see what has been done on it. Ben has been working so hard. He has spent every second of his spare time up there helping on it. He did the roof with the help of his dad and Dale (thanks a ton guys!) not to mention still working his full time job and finishing up with school. He's done with school completely now, except for taking his boards to become certified, which he'll do sometime this fall. What a relief! Next week the windows are going in, and the brick and siding are going to be started, so the outside will really start looking good! Anyway, sorry about the picture overload, but Ben's family was going to kill me if I didn't post something, so enjoy!
Our land before breaking ground


Ben digging the hole, haha

We weren't originally planning on it but ended up saving quite a bit of money on our lumber, so we went ahead and framed the basement. It will make it really nice once we decide to start finishing the basement!
This is the view from the hallway, looking down to the bedrooms with the stairs on the right.
