I can see my house from here!

It is hard to express the feeling Donna and I had as we crested the hill near our property and saw for the first time... something! Because of the way the property is sloped and graded, you cannot see anything as you approach the lot from down the hill, until you are right on top of it.

But this afternoon, when we were driving to the property, and we were still a block away, we could see the framing of the house! Be still our hearts!

That's all. Here's the picture.

It went from looking small to looking huge with just a few 2x4's (2x6's?).

Honestly, that pic looks like a 6,000 sq. ft. home.

Dave and Donna and Duchess,

Your nosy neighbor Rhonda here, I burned the cd of the photos I told you about, stop by next time you are out. Lo and behold there is a humungous crane at your house today putting up the trusses!!! I will take a few shots of the progress, they are putting the first one in place right now. Hope we see you tonight,

Rhonda and Rich and Steven and Darlene
