Week 2

We lost some existing insulation to make room for the new floor trusses, which were installed above the existing ceiling trusses. It looks worse than it is - we're keeping the house warm w/ the wood burning stove. Sub flooring should be installed by end of week. Next week - walls.


View from the top - Monte likes to climb up with the guys and see their progress.

Point of No Return

Here's our cute little house in the spring...

And here is it today as the house project gets underway.... in a big way! One step closer to a 2nd level.

As the title reads.... point of no return!

Courthouse I Do's

Jana & Chris

1-11-11

They're doing a destination wedding next weekend in Mexico but wanted to make it legit in the U.S. first. I brought Ani with me and now she'll randomly say "Jana's married, Mama!"

I Spy Monte!

New Year's Eve

Monte quoted on WCCO this evening while out getting beer at Surdyk's! He was actually on the 6 o'clock news but we don't see the video on-line. I'll keep looking.

Monte Dirks is buying early too, so he doesn’t have to be on the roads later. Because of the weather and roads, he and his family are ringing in the New Year at home. “Perfect time to stay in while everybody else is out going wild and crazy,” said Dirks.

Because of the weather, we had to miss another Miller wedding... Brent & Eryn got married 2 weeks after we had Ani, and now we're missing Nate & Kelli Jo's. Bummed out about it but definitely didn't feel safe driving in the storm.
