You have probably noticed our lack of posts. That is mainly because there was not a lot of progress to report. The weather is getting colder, which is slowing down the construction and the fact that we both have full time jobs isn't helping our progress. Over the last couple weeks we have gotten a roof on our porch, which is very exciting! Ryan and Michael used the ditch witch to dig trenches for our down spouts and place our underground electrical wire (which makes us the first house on Crystal Drive to have our electrical line run underground as opposed to string across the yard and attach to the house). It's the little things that make us happy!
Our plumbers have been working very hard and are almost finished with running new PVC pipes throughout the house. I never thought I would be in love with PVC, but it means that we're that much closer to me taking a shower in our new house, so I'm infatuated with PVC! Our electrician, Doug, who is a good friend of Michael and Sherry's has started wiring the house. After we pulled out all of the old wiring over the summer, Doug has his hands full!
We still have a lot of work ahead of us....

| The ditch witch may get named as one of my favorite tools for the mere fact that it does the digging for you in half the time! |
