Now that our slab is done, we have a bit of genuine construction doing on up in them thar hills! OK, so it’s only a little framing so far, but after waiting five months for anything, we are quite excited! Just seeing men putting up walls was enough for me…

I can finally get a feel for how the house is laid out and only now I realize how large our garage will be. Mike says it’s only about one-third of the total square footage. I should have known he’d be putting in one hell of a man cave!

All in all, I can’t complain. I’m getting a solar home in the foothills, with views of 13,000 foot peaks from my kitchen sink!   Sure beats looking at the neighbors…
