The Diel Deal

So after our little snow miss hap:
we were able to get back to work.
By work day three we had the walls up and were working on the siding and windows.

Since these pictures were taken we were able to put up 3 of the 4 wall sides. Our next big day is this coming Saturday and it looks to be a very successful one...

The move draws near.

That's right.
By May 1st Emily and I will no longer be residents of The Fort.
We've been given an awesome opportunity to live out in the country in a brand spanking new house close to home. Some of our good friends have a great deal of land. However this land and everything on it is frequently left unattended due to their busy travel lifestyle. So we were approached by these said Friends a few weeks ago with this amazing offer. They will build a brand new house on their property for us to rent, provide super cheap overall living expenses, and even allow our help during the building process to go towards the already super cheap expenses. All they require from us is basically our eyes and ears (sometimes hands) during the times they're away.
Needless to say Emily and I are pretty excited.
We'll be able to finally start saving money. Plus this gives Emily an opportunity to pursue a nursing Career.
This last Saturday was our first construction day. A got a sunburn and a blister.

The construction was great. a few days later it snowed a foot.....so we have yet to have a second work day. More pictures coming as soon as April decides to be April.
