bricks

The brick and block work has really gone quite well. We were told by some friends that built their own home that it would take us a month to complete it. Well, today is the 2 week mark and we are almost finished! In fact, we would be finished tonight but we've had to suffer through 3 rain days. Can't lay brick in the rain... But, we've stayed busy doing other things instead. The work is NEVER ending!

In the last couple of weeks we've had a few birthdays that need to be mentioned. Russ is officially 31, TJ is 4, and Mr. David is getting younger everyday! Happy birthday to all the Hilton boys!


This is the front of the house. Can't you imagine walking up the front steps!?

Russ working hard. The mortar between the bricks has to be scraped. Don't worry, it doesn't look that bad once it is all said and done.
