A Hiking We Will Go

We had a sunny day in the Valley so we decided we needed to go for a good hike in the mountains up in Hatchers Pass. We took the Gold Cord Lake trail. It was a balmy 55 degrees we figure, but that didn't stop the boys from putting their feet in the glacier fed lake! Go figure.

The kids had more fun climbing over all the rocks more than taking in the views. Future mountain climbers I believe.

The Wise Man Built His House Upon a Rock

The house is going up, up, up and we have rocks to spare. Since we have returned to the land of high speed wireless internet I will be able to update more often our house build. So a quick recap...

Well came in at 100 feet with 40 gallons per minute. Apparently that is great.

Framers are in full swing now. Started standing walls on second floor today. Brad, Isaak, and Ellis went to do some wood clearing and rock moving. Brad suggested that Isaak and Ellis put some of the rocks around the culvert. This is their interpretation of the directions! More like a fort than landscaping.

Two windows to the left are garage, as are the two windows next to it. Next two windows are the office, then the front door, then dining room. The large window on the "bump out" section is to the bonus room over the garage and master (which is right behind the garage). That is it for now. Stay tuned...
