34 weeks and the latest happenings....

nearly finished product :)
34 weeks!
What is left of the wheel chair accessible ramp. We will get rid of all that stone and seed it for grass.
All the extra wood we will now use for the deck.
Work in progress!
Isn't he adorable :)

Well, I am 34 weeks this week - hard to believe how fast time has gone by.


We have been busy around the house - Troy and I were enjoying some time outside a few weeks ago and in talking decided we should build a deck. Note...when I say we I mean HE :). However, the only reason we can afford to build this deck is by taking apart the wheel chair accessible ramp that ran the entire length of our house. We never used it, and all that wood would make building the deck an option.


So Troy has worked very hard on taking the deck apart and salvaging as much of the wood as possible. Some guys from our Connection Group came out one night as well to help him take nails out of the wood, Thanks Guys :). Troy's dad has also been able to come out a few times to help him get some stuff done.


So yesterday, we were able to nearly finish the stairs to the small deck that we will be adding on to. The deck will extend into our back yard and we will be able to sit and enjoy seeing and hearing the creek that flows behind our house. I can't wait :)

that is awesome sherry. jason and have basically redone our basement by the things we have found in our church's dumpster... (ok, a little exaggeration there...) i am glad you are able to build a deck with the wood from the ramp.

sherry you are so cute. i am glad you posted a photo. when i was 34 weeks i was in our basement helping jason mud and tape... i think it is all a part of nesting.

You all are such good stewards. Your house is an amazing praise and testament of hard work, fellowship and thriftiness.
