My summer project. (warning lots of pics)

Here is the biggest reason that I've not been able to get my cameras out or do any scouting this summer. #-o

It all started this spring. When we finaly got the go ahead to start building our house.

Digging the trenches for the power, water, phone, and gas.

Then we went on vacation to New York. But when we got back things were kicked into high gear.

Working on the foundation and getting ready to tar and backfill.

Once it was back filled we had the house pulled up next to the foundation.

YEP I'LL BE LIVING IN A BIG OL DOUBLE WIDE TRAILER AND PROUD OF IT.

Set up crew getting ready to roll the house over the foundation to set it down.

Setting the house down and getting the roof propped up and nailed into place.

Both sides set and roof almost all seamed together.

If all goes well we will be done in about two weeks and we will start moving in the week after that. [-o<

If not the following week is the start of the archery hunt so the wife will have to do it herself. :thumb

I always wondered how they got the houses onto the foundation like that. Thanks for sharing. I also feel your pain. I just moved into a new house at the 1st of june and I still can't see any light at the end of the tunnel, when it comes to projects to do. Congrats

Cool pics, I'd be happy there also. Looks like work, but easier than building the whole thing.

I'll give you ONE summer off on the Trail Cams, no more. :))

I totally recognize that floor. How is the flooring business treating you?

79Ford,

We are trying to keep up with all the business that is coming in but everybody wants it done now. If they can wait for a week or so we can get them in but the others have to go somewhere else to get it done in a couple of days. It keeps us hopping but that isn't always a bad thing. Now if I could just get rid of my regular job and just concentrate on our business I would have some more time for hunting. :thumb

There ya go, more time for hunting is never a bad thing. My current employer called me in for an interview during the elk hunt 2 years ago. I was unemployed and enjoying all of that time hunting, but i still needed a job. So I went in and told them I could start in a couple of weeks when the hunts are over. He said he needed someone to start tomorrow to make some deliveries up into Idaho. So I went to work the next day and then took the next 2 weeks off to finish my hunt. Hmm, maybe this is why i've had so many jobs..... But we have to have our priorities right!

By the way a_bow_nut this is Mat with Big D. That's why I recognized the carpet job. -%

LOL

Yep they had to expand their search from two miles to sixty miles to find some comps. The one that they found had two less acres and a quarter of the water shares. When they looked up how much it sold for that last time it was almost 800K. (???)

The market around here is just crazy and if this land wasn't family land there is no way that we could afford to build a house here.

When I was a kid my dad tried to sell half of the farm for a thousand dollars and acre and everybody laughed at him and told him that he was crazy to think that people would ever pay that much for that land.
