the picture below was taken about 2 weeks ago. however, ben has been busy for months, spending countless hours during our television nights, graph paper and pencil in hand, while i'm continually pausing the dvr to answer his endless questions. designing a layout, where do the windows go, do we go with dormers, where should the stairs go, how many square feet... the questions go on and on. the second floor of the shop will hold my studio. can't even begin to express my excitement for the months ahead.
but before any of this can come to fruition, work needs to be done. so, he's spent evenings cleaning up the pad, throwing things away. when we first moved, he had hauled things over from our duplex, and ultimately just had to part with a lot of things. (please note i'm using the word things rather than crap.) ha! really though, i think we all have the best intentions, right?
we've been so antsy to get this thing rollin' but had to wait until the road restrictions were lifted to bring the heavy equipment home. finally, seeing ben drive up with a backhoe in tow - i knew he was probably just as excited as me. and jack. but you know who wasn't? the dew lily. just a little too loud and a little too hairy (scary) as dylan said.
love the hand on my leg.
the girl needed a little support through this hairy event.
look how happy.
love my men.
we're widening the driveway, as well. so...
good bye cluster of birch trees. i'll miss you.
bein' a backhoe makes me tiiiiiiired.
future shot-putter
you saw it here first.
as always, more to come. this work is saved for the weekend...
