House Update - May 11th / Camping


On Thursday afternoon our footings were poured for our house. On Friday the forms were removed and you can now really see the basic layout of the house. The goal for this coming week is to get the basement walls created and placed. If things go really well we might be able to see the floor trusses placed on top of the walls, but we will just hope for walls. The picture above is standing at the garage and looking to the east with the master bedroom in the top left corner again.

This weekend we were lucky enough to get away and do some more camping with Jenny's parents. We went to Mantrap Lake Campground and enjoyed the weekend there, except for the snowfall on Saturday night (thankfully it didn't stick around). On Saturday we also went to Itasca park and went to the Mississippi headwaters as the picture shows. We tried our luck at fishing on Saturday and Sunday a little bit and all we had to show as a small Walleye and small Sunfish that Jim caught and gave back to the lake. That is all that is new with us!
