BUILDING A NEW HOME: Out of Hospital-Nice Progress

BUILDING A NEW HOME

This is a detailed account of our experience building a dream house. Hopefully, it will chronicle our daily or at least weekly experiences with the project. We are not building it ourselves, but instead hired a builder to handle that part of the stress. This is our labor of love and we give thanks to God for blessing us with the opportunity to do it.

About Me

Name: PARIS

I absolutely love and adore God as my first mission in life. My second greatest loves are my children and husband. I also have a very deep and sincere commitment to the aid, love and support of hurting, impoverised, and/or underprivelaged children here and abroad. I spend much of my resources trying to be a blessing to many of those children in the world. If you are interested in helping please let me know. I am very interested in business issues as I own 2 companies. I am highly ambitious and driven. I love new homes, and interior design. I'm an admitted shopaholic. I've been singing since I was a small child and have an infinite love for music.

Out of Hospital-Nice Progress

Well today I came home from the hospital after a fluke illness starting with strep throat of all things that knocked me down pretty badly. Of course the strep throat led into something much more serious. But thanks to God's oh so mighty blessings I'm good now. When I got out I just had to go see the progress at our site. We have committed to pictures once a week. On Friday, I was out of it and obviously couldn't go. But today, on Sunday I couldn't wait. Wow, we were so shocked. It's amazing how much they accomplish in less than 2 weeks. We returned to find what looked like a giant fort erected. It's so cool. It's like you could see the footprint of the entire house. I think this is the wooden part of the foundation (but new at this). I believe the next step is to pour concrete around it and let it sit for about 2 weeks to cure, and then on to the frame. That's the super fun stuff. I will try to import some pictures. Wow we went from flat dirt, to a canyon sized hole, to a big foundation structure in less than 2 weeks.
