New Direction

It's been a while since I've made a blog entry. Back in May I had taken my wife with me to Wyoming when i cased out those windows in the previous post. We had been discussing a permanent move to Wyoming over the years, but the timing was not right as our daughter was receiving cancer treatments at the time. Well it's been 2 yeras since her transplant and she is doing wonderful and life has slowed back down to some kind of normalcy. I guess we're not used to that and want to complicate things, so after looking around at our options we decided where we really wanted to be was on this property we already owned. So, a small remodel just turned into a much bigger one as we'll need more space for us, 5 kids, a studio for my artist wife and a private office that I can work out of. The existing home was just not quite large enough since it had no basement. So our 70's style cube of butter with a roof will become something about twice as big and a little more interesting.

Here are a few pictures of the newly cleared area where we will be building the addition and garage. I had some anxiety about clearing any trees as that's what i love about this property. But my wife kept reminding me we have about 500 more so we will survive. We're adding a new kitchen and family room area on the front of the existing home, an upstairs with some bedrooms for the kids and of course a big garage because we have some long winters and I'll need some space to park a tractor i'll be using to clear out our 1/4 mile drive.
