Our Family Home

It's been awhile since we mentioned Project Homestead { a.k.a. the family home |

And that project is still going strong since we last mentioned it. 
​

We thought we had really gotten somewhere the day the trusses were delivered. Naivety at its' finest!

Life kept rolling, the kids kept growing. And we grew as a family as well. We were excited to welcome Emmaline Grace to our family on Feb. 23rd 2016 in a wonderful home birth with our amazing midwife, Michelle Fitzgerald. I can't believe she'll be two in less than 2 months!

Kevin completed the welding on the roof structure and placed the zip panels. It was bittersweet to add the spray foam insulation and hide the structure - I loved the lines and admire all that Kevin put into welding this for our family. 

We added a galvalume R-panel roof on the exterior. You can see the ICF foam is still exposed - it's quite forgiving and a little rinse with the powerwasher takes care of any 'patina' from the elements. 
Between all the exciting projects our clients bring us & our own full-time build, we could use a few more hours added to the day! Lately, we've framed interior walls/ceilings, installed an HVAC system (Kevin's A/C certified, as is his Uncle Kevin (who came down from Oklahoma to assist - we're grateful for his help!) Electrical & data wiring are well on their way & we've been hanging Sheetrock as the rooms become ready. Right now, the kid's rooms have been prioritized. 
We keep on keeping on because at this point, there's nothing to it but to do it.
