Are we there yet?

  • How about a little history.
    I started this blog in 2003. It was to be all about our experience in house building. It's been an amazing journey. Sometimes I look around and I can't believe we acutally built this house and when I say we I mean we. Myself, my husband, his cousin Russ, our Dads and assorted friends and other relatives. We did hire a contractor to pour our foundation and we had a horrible experience with some drywallers but otherwise it was all us. We have been in the house now for one year. There are still a lot of details to finish up. I have some guilt about not posting house projects since I am a member of a house blog ring but there is a lot of valuable information on house building here so while my posts are more about living in our dream house you can still search my archives for posts on every aspect of house building. So? Are we there yet? Nearly. We still need doors and trim inside.......some flooring and tiling needs to be done so stay tuned-we'll get there.

Christmas Tree Decorating

Dave finally found his dream Christmas tree.  Now that we have 16' ceilings he really wanted a big tree this year.  I can't even remember how long it's been since we have had a real tree.  I have a little 3' plastic one that we usually use.

This year is different.  We went to cut our own and found this beautiful tree that had already been cut.  It presented a major problem though.  How to decorate a tree this big.  How do you get the angel on the top?

Ct_1 Our ladder is not quite big enough and there is no way I'm dragging in the scaffolding.

Ct_2 Ah! Dave has a brilliant idea.

Ct_3 Let's drag the tree over to the second story landing!

Ct_4 Now putting the angel on the top is a piece of cake.

Ct_5 We put the lights and ornaments on the top third of the tree from the landing.

Now, we just need to drag it back to the front wall.

Ct_6 Beautiful! and the perfect size for this room.

I believe that is at least an 18' ceiling.

What a great idea!

You are so clever! Your tree is absolutely awesome!

I agreed with you
