The house is proceeding ahead of schedule! The heating/plumbing and rough electrical are all but done more than two weeks ahead of the target! Praise God! The windows and drywall are here and awaiting installation. Please continue to pray that a drywall crew will be found and available to begin drywalling as soon as things are ready.
Ron took Thomas and Dillon on a nine day camping adventure! They are camping up on third lake and will move to second lake tomorrow or Thursday. They will be home on Sunday.
This has left the house very quiet as Alyssa is working at bearclaw Lodge for the summer. Susanna and I are having a very fun, quiet time just hanging out, walking and getting some projects done.
Have a terrific day and think on the One who created it just for YOU!!!
Lamentation 3:22 tells us that God's lovingkindness never ends and His mercies are new every morning!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there! :)
Our house is progressing apace. The rough electrical is about 2/3 rd's complete. The heating and plumbing will be started next week!
It is exciting to see the progress. Today Ron and I walked through the house and discussed lighting options. It is pretty fun to get to choose all new things!
I am taking a day trip to Anchorage on Monday to get Alyssa her yellow fever vaccine for her Uganda trip and we will shop for lighting and I hope to have soem time to gether a bit of info on flooring.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for the visit!

We have walls!

The walls are up! After a few minor glitches, the exterior walls in the new part of the house are up! It is very exciting to see the progress as the days go by. The crew is building roof trusses that we hope will be ready for installation by the week-end!

How can you pray and support us right now?

Pray for continued safety for the men working on our home. Ask for God's favor and mercy in keeping them safe and accident free. Pray for the electrician and plumber/heating men. They are slated to begin work soon. Ask that their work will go quickly and smoothly and that they will work "as unto the Lord", that the work they do for us will be excellent.

Pray for our children and for us. We are all going through the loss process and are experiencing dreams, sleep difficulties and emotional things tht need to be worked through. We are so thankful for the support of wonderful people who are helping us talk through the "stuff", we need you all too though your prayers are precious support for us!

Framing? Not!

Well, I have been waiting all week to post hoping to have pictures of the framing going up. No luck yet though. It has been pretty wet and rainy all week, so we are still waiting. There is progress though! Today the wood was being sprayed/painted with 'Kills' to kill any mold that may be hiding, next they will seal the wood to keep any lingering smoke smell from coming through.
Keep checking back for new photos!
