It begins here...Matt has spent countless hours each week, taking one repair at a time to finish this "a little bigger than we thought" project!********WARNING...SOME PHOTOS IN THIS POST ARE NOT G RATED*********
These pictures were taken during our last big work weekend. After a really long day, Matt was wrapping up his work on the roof. See where this is going? I was working inside and he would occasionally yell at me to throw a tool up to him, simple helping tasks for me. The last time he called me out, for the evening, he used his cell phone...this is what he said, "Jen, I'm falling off the roof and I need you to come catch me." So, of course I run out with my arms wide open ready for the catch. When I got to him he was hanging, half of his body on the roof and half off. I laughed really loudly and made fun of him for a while! As it turns out, he slid down the roof on his butt, somehow flipped over to his side for a while, and then slid a bit longer on his stomach. And, it just so happens that we just had the roof replaced 3 days prior, so it was pretty rough with new gravel! Still, really funny to me.
Even Baylee-girl was a helper! I took this picture from inside, upstairs...she was on a ladder painting the trim!
At last, it is finished...
We are so relieved this project is finished and are waiting on Jesus to make it someone else's! What do you think? Oh, by the way...our new house is waiting for us...did you see it?

That's a beautiful house. I'd like to see some before pics. :)
Oh, I forgot to mention that I LOVE that you are doing it Dave Ramsey style. Live like NO ONE ELSE so that one day you can LIVE LIKE NO ONE ELSE!!!
Who is that beautiful young lady looking through the second floor window? Baylee, you be careful on those ladders! House is beautiful, and I know it is such a relief to have it done - You all could start a remolding company. Love you, Mom
Your house is beautiful! I cannot believe you and your family did all of that. Way to go! I wll pray that it is a very smooth and swift sale! Love the new house pic...
Did you get a pay raise I didn't know about? Your new house ROCKS! I am so glad that your house is finished. It looks beautiful and has come a long way since the majority of it was sitting in the front yard. :o) I hope the best for you and your family as you take the next step and selling it. ~Jenn
