- Winter a la Casa -

There hasn't been a lot of "visual progress" -- for lack of a better term -- at the new house since the installation of windows and doors back in December/January, but worry not! Brian and his dad + brothers have been hard at work juuuuust about every Friday/Saturday/Sunday from sun-up to sun-down, and things arrrrre a happenin'!  

[January 2019]
We took a mini-roadtrip to Menards one weeknight to scoop up a ton of can lights...
...and then Brian was back at the house bright and early the next weekend to begin installing them all!  The girls and I were grateful for a little bit of sunshine and warm[ish] weather so we could enjoy the outdoors while Daddy worked the day away.  [Februrary 2019]
Throughout February, there was plenty of construction to be done on the front porch...
...and the [future] fireplace...
...and, well, everywhere, actually!
One evening, we took a very rare opportunity to go on a date and look at lights and pick out paint colors and hash out the ins and outs of allllll the finishing touches. Drink, is drinking, drank, has drunjk [see what I did there?!]...  Jay to the kay, but really, I [and our marriage!] am so grateful for an occasional kid-free evening amidst all this craziness to argue over past perfect participles and paint colors! Beige or grey or maybe just greige...?  All I know is:  #moremargaritasplease!

^^ As the winter weather permits, the kids are always eager to get to the house and "help Daddy" -- but they mostly just enjoy playing in the construction mess while he works! 

And finally...*drumrollllll*... March 1 showed its beautiful face and the veryyyyy long and tedious job of electrical wiring began!
We are so thankful for Brian's dedication; I really can't even believe he wanted to build us a freaking HOUSE from ground up, but he took on the challenge like a boss and is knocking out projects left and right like a champ.  It's even crazier to think that someday -- and not toooo far off -- we'll be moving into this shack! 

Wahhh! :o

Stay tuned for more "pretty progress" in the next couple of months!
