HOUSE UPDATE AND NEW PINS

Well, the house is coming along...finally!  My husband finished up with all of his other construction projects and, with the exception of plowing piles of snow, is able to focus on building our house.  Things have been crazy to say the least.  I'm up working on the house whenever possible.  Some days we bring the kids up there and they play and if we can we send them to a grandma's.  We're extremely fortunate to have all of our parents living in the same town.  Oh, and all of them are retired.  We absolutely know how lucky we are.  Brent's dad has been coming up and helping build most days too.  So, we have all of the first floor exterior and interior structural walls put up.  We're ready to install the floor joists for the second floor (wahoo!).  This time of year really puts a damper on things though.  Yesterday Brent ended up plowing all day.  I shoveled out the house.  Building in winter time sucks, but there really is no other way for us to do this.  You do what you gotta do, right?  I'll post pics maybe when we start putting up second floor walls.  In the meantime, here's what I've been pinning:

Seriously, though, what did we do before Pinterest?
