April 10, 2012 The road to a new home


This is the latest picture of the progress of our new home!  We are having such a great time watching it go up right before our eyes! The boys are captivated by all of the machinery and equipment rolling around all day - it's a great diversionary tactic. There was a bit of a setback on Sunday, when a "gustnado" came out of nowhere and knocked down nine of the roof trusses. (this picture was taken before the trusses fell)  Norah and Dennis were actually in the house at the time, but thankfully they were unharmed. Our contractor, Chad, was able to reset three of the trusses, but the other six have to be remade. The impact of the trusses falling also knocked one side of the house off center, so they had to realign that as well.  We're pretty sure that the old house has put a curse on us and is going to make our life hell until we finally put it out of its misery. Just another day in the life at the O'Neill house!
