House Construction

This blog was intended for updates about the farm, but every once in a while, other things in our lives become a big part of the farm as well, including the ones that take away time from weeding and planting fall crops. A lot of people have asked to see pictures of our major construction project, and although I will write an entire entry when we are finished, I thought a picture of the little house raised 10 feet in the air was rather striking. (This is Anna writing, by the way. I'm not sure it is as striking to Vince, who has more work to do after each major step.) This picture is post-excavation when the footers for the walls were being poured. Needless to say, this project has brought a lot of attention (and assistance) from the neighbors and our family, which has been helpful. They even built a ramp to get in and out of the house with a railing and traction for the pregnant lady. Now I call that service!
