New Shed

So, we have lived in our new house for just about a month and I am still in the process of unpacking.  My mom and my husband have been giving me a hard time about unpacking but I want to make sure everything is in its proper place (or I am just being a slacker), haha. We have undertaken one really big project so far and have it almost completed. We have been paying $80 for a storage unit for the last 3 years and now that we have a home we want to eliminate that monthly bill. Jason has so willingly built us a storage shed in our backyard. He has built this thing on his own without buying any plans or a kit. This shed is looking really good and it is really sturdy. Here are the pictures of the progress of the shed.
This is Jason trying level the blocks for the foundation. 

 He is putting the frame up for the walls on the shed. 


Here he is putting on the roofing. 


The roofing is complete. 
We still have a few more trim pieces that need to go up but the end is in sight.

I think our next project is going to be the living room and entry. This should be fun.

We did it!


                   These last few months have been very long. We started in January planning to purchase a house. After we accomplished a few goals of ours we went for through the preapproval process. The day we got the preapproval Jason and I were out looking for our dream home. Well we found our dream home, made an offer, and we closed on it today. We are so excited and have so many ideas to do to our new home. The house we purchased has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths.In addition, it has 1348 square feet and a 2 car garage. Our favorite feature of the house is the fenced in backyard and the wood burning stove. We get to start moving into the house after Wednesday. However, these next two weeks are going to be very overwhelming. I still have two and a half weeks left of classes plus there is a lot of stuff going on at church. As soon as we move in I will take lots of pictures so than we can do before and after pictures. It is a good thing I have a very handy husband with lots of tools because we have a very long to-do list to complete.
