Home Sweet Home

These pictures are a little insight of what our lives have been like since August. It has been long and straining, but so worth it. Every step was an exciting one for us. Ernie and I both feel stronger and more empowered since building our own home. Many times we will be at a store and find ourselves thinking, we can build that! We have gained so much knowledge and experience through this program. THANK YOU to everyone who supported us through this we couldn't have done it with out you!

Here are progress pictures during building.


This is a picture of our lot before we started.

Living Room. Putting up drywall.


Ernie and me putting gable returns on. (This was about 11:30 at night. Not fun, but don't they make the house look great?)

Our rock and grout. (By this time it was extremely cold! Life was miserable.)

Front view. Aren't the mountains in the background scenic? Love it!

We are loving our home and can't think of a better place to be! We still have landscaping to do this spring and we are looking forward to it. If you have any suggestions or ideas for our yard, let us know!
