Daniel and Heather sharing lunch.
Insulation in the "apartment"
The apartment ready for texture
My father-in-law Stan, the hardest working retired person I have ever seen. He spent a couple of days on the trencher putting in the trenches for the drainage system, and sprinklers, and other stuff that I don't know what they are for. I think he kinda got a kick out of driving it.
The front walk
The entryway
Pouring the "breakfast" patio.
I thought it was very cool how they stamped the design into the concrete.
We drove to Oregon to pick up the windows, this is the one for the dinning room. It was tricky getting it loaded and unloaded.
And here it is put in, I love it! 
I told Daniel and Brian, our framer, that they could not stop until all of the windows were put in, so here they are working into the night. I am one tough superintendent!
This is the underground propane tank, I call it the "green submarine."
The HVAC system for the apartment.
Daniel, his Dad, and Travis got the fireplace put in, we have already had a cozy fire!
Hey Dan, careful with that hammer! The glass block window is in the shower in our bathroom.
Daniels Dad made a trip to Oregon to pick up a "couple" of things for us for the house.
He got everything from solar tubes to siding and bathroom faucets. He is really a life saver, we appreciate him a ton!
Kristy told her daddy that she wanted a bonfire for her birthday party, and she got one, Nordstrom style! It is a good thing our yard is big, everyone had to move waaaaay back, it was so hot!
How cool! The first party in our new house, no worries that it isn't finished yet. They played ping pong in the kitchen.
Grandpa stops by for a birthday hug, and to make sure Daniel isn't burning the place down.
Heather and Kristy's best friend since nursery, Allison, take a break from ping pong to have a hamburger.
A great view out of the living room "windows."
Daniel framed in our fireplace, complete with flames and all!
Stan securing the columns, he is at the new house everyday doing a bit of everything.
The house is coming along fast. We are ready for the roofing and windows.
This is the kitchen and dining area. Looking out into the backyard.
Cool pan ceiling in the living room.
And what will be the most important room in the entire house..... the pantry! I have never had a pantry before.
The apartment has an amazing view of Lassen Peak from the front window.
The stairs going up to the Apartment, this downstairs area is a laundry room and storage area.
Well, it is hard to tell, but this is the kitchen dining area.
Bathroom. It is going to be a nice apartment, it is actually bigger than our first house!
The dirt truck starting our road. They brought in 11 truck loads of road base.
Well, there it is, our road/driveway. And there is my hot minivan just waiting to take a spin on the new road. The area where our vehicles are now parked will be the front lawn. Life is good!
The well drillers setting up the drill.
These guys were fascinating, watching them work was like watching a well choreographed dance. And when they were finished they had drilled down 170 feet and found us really really good water! Yea!
Tanner spends his few weeks of summer vacation working on the shop driving a real life Tonka Truck. It took him about 15 minutes to teach himself how to run it. 
He also strapped on the tool belt and ran a power tool or two. Thanks Tan!
