DAD1 - this is my dad preparing for a battle in the middle of the great room where our pooltable now stands.
DAD2 - this is dad standing in the doorway that connects the inside of the garage to our laundry room.
DAD3 - and this is dad working on some of the duct work downstairs.
EAST1 - A shot of the house from the road.. (the east side)
EAST2 - pardon the excessive blue hue in this pic; this is another shot of the East side of our house.
NORTH1 - This was a shot of the north side of our house with my dad's van parked out front; we were working at the time this picture was taken (as with most of these pics).
Foundation 1 - The beginning stages of our house... this is what the land looked like before the house was here, so to speak. :-)
Foundation 2 - Now pouring the foundation and the concrete footers...
Foundation 3 - A side shot of the West side of the house..
Foundation 4 - This shot was taken at a Southwestern angle to the house. In the clearing of the trees in the top-right corner of this picture, you can see some trees in the background. That is where our old house was - our rental house. :-)
Foundation 5 - Another shot of the foundation - Southeastern shot.

Mudfight 1- These are some funny pics of me and my dad when we were digging trench for the geothermal lines for our house heating/cooling. While lining up the pipes, a mudfight was inevitable. {-) This was the same location as FLOOD 1 was taken in in the nature section of the photoalbum.

Me digging This is me digging a trench for a gas line from our "building" (the big brown barn) to the house. There were no gas lines on our street, and we wanted a gas stove. Note: I rarely have my shirt off in public, so enjoy. {-D
The woodstove! :-D We had to move the woodstove in a bit early while we were working on the mechanical stuff, because it got to I think 20 degrees F. that winter! :-P
