Buddy the wonder cat

this is buddy he just turned a year old and he has proven to be a little different than any cat I have ever had..he would climb the ladder then walk around on the roof then he would come down when he was good and ready

The cabin is complete

Just a little more landscaping is needed and we have trim and wood floors to put down inside it has been a long road but we made it

the new house

this is one of the pics that i took during the building process the windows and roof and gable log siding were all in place by November the inside sheet rock walls are all up and the smaller bedroom for my 4 year old is painted....will get updated pics up soon....still on borrowed internet

Where has the time gone!!

Well I am a little behind on the blog updates, so here is what is new all wraped up in a nut shell...
The new house is almost liveable....its just takes an act of congress to get the mortgage company to give you some of the insurance money to do the work...but by friday we should be able to live and work in the house....It is rather butt biting cold in the camper with the temps getting down to low 30's at night...

my oldest son has safely returned from his second Iraq deployment and I do hope it is the last....he will now get to be with his baby girl that he has only met for 2 weeks while home on R&R...as soon as the internet is at the new house I will be able to post the progress pics of the house ....Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers ...better wish it to you all now who knows when I will get back on here.....LOL

Moving Forward...Finally :)

So the day finally came where we tore down the old house and started to dig the foundation for the new house...it was a little eye opening to see the bats fly out and then the snakes and yes we had flying squirrels had moved in too!!! YUCK

The foundation digging has not gone as well as hoped....we hit ground water LOTS of it and yes there was even ledge but we can work around it all...foundation is soon to come

Moving Forward

Well we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak...we now have signed off with the insurance company...which is a blessing ...I did not care for the adjuster....we have ordered our log cabin kit we have the equipment comming in a week or so to tear down the old curse ....
and I think we have now had 5 days of sun in a row....the month of June in New Hampshire was very trying it rained 26 out of 30 days....

Finally posted are the fire pics

These Pics are all of the loft bedroom that my 3 year old used he was playing up there just hours before the fire

Another month has passed

Well it has now been 2 plus months since the house fire and a lot has happened but not much with the house...still dealing with insurance hope to have construction under way in July..was in a slight car accident...I was stopped in traffic but the man behind me thought otherwise...1200. in damage to my van but all is well it was fixed 2 weeks later and I had mild whiplash and my 3 year old never woke in his car seat.....
the 2 weeks with my son were great it was hard to see them off so I did not go to the airport I have posted my favorite pic called daddys first kiss...hope is well with all that stop to read..
