Becuase I forgot

I meant to post this awhile ago, but I forgot.

Our second and biggest snow of the year:

It dropped about 5 inches or so and actually stuck around for almost a week. I was jazzed. Unfortunately, the only other time it snowed it was only about 2 inches and was gone by the next day.

So...there ya go.

Ciao

As promised...

D and I just got back from our third and final visit to that humongous house that's being constructed and, as promised, I've got pictures.

This is the whole rear of the house minus a couple feet behind me. I was standing pretty much center in the garage area.

Here's one of the front of the house from the corner of the garage at the bottom of the picture. The house is a total of 156 feet long.

And here are three of the view from the mountaintop.

I'm not nearly as sore this time and it wasn't hardly cold at all. I brought a jacket just in case, but it got up to about 75 degrees so it was actually rather hot with no shade. I even got a bit sunburned on my arms and the back of my neck.

But, it's done and I'm glad.

Hard work

Let me preface this post by saying....I am so exhausted! But it's in a good way.

D and I made our second trip out to a construction site today. It was the phase of putting big nails into the ground so the masons will know where to pour concrete for the walls of a massive house. The cool part was that we were up on the top of a mountain with a very impressive view (I'll try and remember to take pictures next time we're out there). The not so cool part was that it was about 30 degrees with crazy cold wind, and there were 118 nails that we had to put in the ground. D was nice enough to give me a break towards the end because I was really starting to drag.

So, while I feel very accomplished, I'm also very worn out...and sore...and muddy. It was a sloppy, muddy mess up there.

So...yeah. That was my day.
