The home
Finally I got around to posting the pics of my house! I'll add a little caption where it's necessary.
Without any further ado, here is my home.
The very near beginnings of the house. That's Adam climbling up the plank to help me out with laying out the floor.
Adam the hero come to rescue his brother from another day of drudgery. Oh, to make this perfectly clear, the majority of the labor is being done by me with the generous help of family and friends. Thanks to all of you!
A close up shot of the exterior side of the foundation walls. This is to ensure that Mike Holmes doesn't wander by and shout and yell and get red-faced about the work not being done properly. (j/k)
Laying out the floor...
... and securing it in place. The glue smells good :)
Time for the Halloween break! Didn't get dressed up this year so I made up for it by carving this pumpkin. He's a happy pumpkin (I think he got hold of some of that glue).

Ahem. So some work was done and all of a sudden I have two storeys of walls done. Magic!
The day I did remember to bring the camera was sunny and nice. Here is a nice picture of the entry hall. The ceiling is sloped up to the second floor to give it a really open feeling. It sure looks open to me.
Yeah. So trusses are big, heavy and a real pain to work with. Thankfully we had hard hats on so that if those trusses that weighed several thousand pounds were to drop on our heads... we'd still be killed... I dunno ask the safety inspector.
The future kitchen area. That big opening on the left wall is for the sliding doors to allow access to the back yard. And what a yard!
The roof is partially on. That's Matt up top swinging the sheets up onto that stack there. Wade and Adam (not my brother) are below working hard.
That's it for now. With these pictures off the camera I'll be able to take more. I'll try much harder to keep up with the updates.
