piece by piece!

june 17th, 2011.
so i've come to the conclusion that building a house is like putting together a puzzle. i mean, they sell those little 3D puzzles (SOME OF WHICH GLOW IN THE DARK) and it's only a bit easier than building a house! .. haha, easy for me to say ;) all i do is take pictures and write about it! but really though! on the truck came these wonderful little TRIANGLE pieces and dads up there nailing them together! .. of course there's measuring, cutting, leveling, nailing, vapour barrier, ladders, sludge hammers...... OH, and a smashed thumb involved... but i mean... well. yeah, it's completely different than doing a puzzle :\ BUT YOU GET MY DRIFT! ... ok, anyways! the basement has been built forever ago, and today the final wall of the main floor went up! never mind looking like a house... this structure resembles nothing short of a palace!  of course, we can't give ALL the credit to daddio. ..most.. BUT NOT ALL. there's this wonderful german pilot man who comes and helps out when he's not flying (micheal, i think?). but yeah, he's been a huge help! SO THANKS MICHEAL! ..if that's your name.. hehehe.

 OUUUUUU...... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... (now imagine those little green aliens off of toy story saying that) 

building the basement! WOOOT. air compressor!

 OH LOOK, it's micheal! OH LOOK, it's another wall!

 see what i mean? THEY LOOK LIKE PUZZLE PIECES.. 

 taken... yesterday? 

 THE BASEMENT! :D don't you just wanna pack up and move on in there?

 *tear* ...i dunno why only half of this picture uploaded.. BUT.. yeah, remember that old shack i mentioned in blog number one? well i finally summoned up the guts to venture inside! ..it's super creepy.

 again... not sure why there's only a partial picture? and i can't figure out how to make it upright.. ANYWAYS, i walked into this shack and thought someone had hanged themselves from the ceiling (freaked out, lemmie tell ya!) thankfully though, it was just dad's apron :L

 .............fail. BUT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO SHOW HOW CROOKED THE FLOORS ARE!

 ....oh my. this is a picture of some guys lifting up a wall!

 the view from the study! WOOT, roaring rapids hall!

 :( these fail pictures are making me sad!

 OH YANO, just some walls!

TADAAA! ..haha, taken earlier today :D the man works fast.. i'll tell you that much! but isn't it pretty!?

not that it's been forever or anything..

SO, first off, HAPPY JUNE :D it's the time of warm weather, short shorts... bugs.. and... exams. oh joy. WELL, just try to enjoy as much as i obviously am!
second, OUR HOUSE IS ON IT'S WAY! although i don't have any super duper recent pictures, i do have some from the earlier stages! it's coming along great by the way! the basement is closed in and the main floor is being worked on. there's this great german pilot who's been a great help. he goes over and helps dad when he's not flying an stuff! he's nice :) BUT YEAH, the house is moving CRAZY fast.. although it's gonna slow down just a lil next week cuz dad has to fly out to regina to get re-certified in the gun department!
