Photo Updates

As promised I have pictures of the new barn complete, Sorry I don't have any of the inside yet but I will be getting on that since I will be having some time off of school for a couple of weeks. The first picture is the completed outside of the barn with the doors on it. The second is the house with the new garage doors. Enjoy! I will be adding some new pictures of the inside of the barn with Dad's cars in there. Yes he does have three of them in there now, the fourth is on it's way! Also he had the in floor heater installed and running since it has been in the 30's up here!

Updates!

Well this weekend we did a little bit more to the barn we added "bubblers" to the downspouts, so that we can control where the water runs (hopefully away from the barn.) Todd and I also brought up some dirt, from what they moved away from the site, to the front of the approach so that Dad didn't bottom out when he was bringing his babies into the barn. We also got the electrical ran inside so we have 6 lights on the inside along with 5 outlets and an outside light. We have all the doors on it now. We are just waiting for them to come back and finish putting the new doors on the other barn and the garage and we will be done!!!!
The next thing I have comleted was putting in one of those do it yourself bed liners into my truck! I think it turned out pretty nice it was fun following all the steps that needed to be done so that it would turn out alright. I don't think it is as good as a Rynolining or a Linex but it should be good enough for what I am going to be using it for! Other than that school seems to be going good, I have been meeting with one of my spanish teachers to further my understanding of Spanish, and for her help with my struggles in writing spanish..its weird I can speak it better than I write, which I am sure is a problem with any language but I think I am learning alot and bettering myself in my understanding of spanish as well as the other classes I am taking!
I will be posting new pictures probably next weekend of the new bed liner and some up to date photos of the new barn! Ta Ta for now!!

"Halloween Weekend"

Well last friday the 26th a group of us went down to the Niles Haunted House and had a wonderful time making fun of all the people who thought they were scary and at those who screamed the whole time..(B+..hehe). After that we stayed the night at Becca's Grandpas House and returned home on Saturday.
I went back to the Grimes Homestead and did one of those do it yourself truck bedliner kits. It actually turned our fairly nice, I still have some extra goop left over so I might go back over it again this weekend and see if I can't get it a little thicker.
More progress has been made on the barn we finally got the cement poored, the couplo on, the doors on and the trench dug for the electrical! Not much longer and dad will definetly be filling it up with "priceless" cars!
Sunday we attended the baptism of cousin Jennifers new baby (Zach) at St. Mary's in Paw Paw and then went back to Jeff and Lindas for some delicioso hamburgers and hotdogs! Thats about everything new that is going on here!
I will post some pictures of the barn and the ole truck bed..

The New Barn!

Well as you may know we have began the project of building a barn, well not us really building we are more of watching then getting our hands dirty. This is a 36X40 pole barn that we had Morton Buildings come in and construct it for us. We are going to be finishing the inside when they get done with this. There are still a few more things that they need to get done, such as the couplo, the two front doors and the cement, but they should be getting a handle on that sometime soon. I have posted a few photos here of the progress thus far!

NEW BLOG!!

Well I finally broke down and got a blog for myself. I found it very intriguing to be able to add things here for you all to see and it cuts down on some of the work of having to send emails to keep in touch with everyone! I hope you all enjoy taking a further look into what I am doing and what I will be doing now and in the future! Feel free to leave comments, (if and when things become interesting or even just to say hi!!)
