walls

 And then there were walls. So excited, it actually looks like a house now. My mom came up to watch the boys so that I could help Steve with the framing. Basically it consisted of me bringing him studs and helping him stand walls while he did anything that required any knowledge. Don't know that it was actually very helpful, but at least there are walls now. Oh yeah, and I learned that nail guns are scarey. I only had to shoot like 4 nails, but I just about hyperventillated before every one. Hopefully Steve will be able to get the trusses up this weekend and get done with the framing.

I love where we live, but there is one problem, voles. They are like miniature gophers. They dig tunnels all over the place, eat the roots of all of your plants, and generally destroy everything. I'm hoping that these are going to be the solutiong to the problem.

Don't be fooled, I know they look sweet, but they are actually ferocious vole killers in training. They are actually pretty funny. When I let them out in the house they chase each other around and pounce on each other. They are Jeremiah's kitty's and he loves them, they don't always feel the same way about him.
