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.
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!?
