Here is a pic of the house today. It is officially dried in now. Thor was still working on it when we left, putting up the rest of the shingles (that's him on the roof...).
Not so good of Alex, but here are the kids for Boone Boo today. Cinderella and Tigger.

Here is the driveway view, notice the roof is up. Thor finished the part that is not yet shingled. It should be shingled tomorrow!
Today, from the other side.

and here it is from the road on my way out!
Inside. (from living room, looking through kitchen, into family room. The braces in view will be knocked out and the room open.)
and by the time I left, this is what what on the lot (they had almost finished the roof. Amazing)...
then the last piece was brought up, picked up, and swung out...
Set on the foundation, ratcheted together with the other section (this is our basement/crawlspace)...
lifted in the next section (roof was hinged up and nailed into place at the same time as the other.)
then hinged up the roof, brought in the next section (on the left)...
set on the foundation...(you can see into the kitchen here)
Swung into place...
First section going up.
Here was the frosty lot this a.m. (24 degrees). Thor was putting down the plastic moisture barier.

It is confirmed. The house is here, just down the street from the lot! We haven't seen it yet, but will probably go out on Wed. eve. Thursday a.m. it gets set!!!

Here is Jenny's talk. She told me what she wanted to write, then she drew the pictures to remind herself. I added the color, but she did the rest. Notice the spikey hair on daddy in the baptism photo, and Jenny's long pig tails--she loves drawing long pigtails these days. Notice also the folded arms in the last 2 pictures, grandma laying down (Jenny ran out of room for the body) the spikey daddy hair, and the bended knees in the last one. She did a fantastic job!!!

More house pics from Denver.

Although not the best picture, here is our utility room with a door leading to our backyard, and a pantry/closet on the left. Fun! The bucket is paint for touch-up after transport. I don't know what the box is...
A light in our entryway.
This is our living room. They have roped off the carpet, siding, molding, etc. for transport.
