Almost there

The porch is almost done! I came back from Florida, and my pregnent wife had already got most of the painting done. What a women!

We laid all of the flooring yesterday, and we should finish it completely tommorrow.

The new 10x35 porch

This was tough. I have never moved concrete in a wheelbarrow before. Doing this will let you know just how out of shape you are. It will be worth it though.

We went out last night and got flooring, laminate wood, and a nice corner desk. The desk will help make is more of an office/classroom. Office for me in the morning, and classroom for Bre and the kids during the day.

I will be in Florida this week, or else we would probably have the whole thing done by next weekend. Hopefully we will be able to get some paint on the room and then put the flooring down. Bre and the kids can't wait to get in there and start putting it to good use.

The new addition - to the family

With all my talk about the new addition to the house, I forgot to mention the new addition to the family that will be here in September. Bre has all of the fun symptoms, morning sickness and crazy food craving. As soon as we find out more information, I will post it ASAP. We are planning to take a trip this summer to a place that specializes in 4D ultrasounds. I will definitely have those pictures posted. God has blessed us with two beautiful and healthy children so far, and we are praying that this new one will be healthy as well.

Update on the back porch

The porch is coming along pretty good. Here are a few pictures of our future classroom. Breanna can't wait to actually get it painted and start going to work on the inside of it. We are even getting a 10x35 pad poured to replace our porch.

These are exciting times at the Davis family.

New Back Porch

Don't mind the date stamp. My camera needed technical support. It was taken today.

God has blessed us with the opportunity to refinance our house for an outrageously good rate. This is allowing us to get a little bit of money out to close in our back porch. The plan for this extra room is to turn it into a classroom. My wife home schools my son, in Kindergarten, and she will start pre-school our daughter next year. This classroom will get us off of the dining room table so that we can have a place set aside for just learning. My plan at first was to try and tackle this project on my own, because really, how hard could it be? In God's providence, He led me to a gentleman at church who has been doing this for many years and who I would be able to hire. As soon as I did, it felt like a weight had been lifted off of me. I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to construction, code, how to hang a door, how to hang sheet-rock, so it is really great to know that this important project is in the hand of someone who is more than capable to finish it a timely manner and do it right the first time. I have done those projects before where I tought that I would try to save a few dollars, but ended up wishing I just would have paid the right person to do the job for me.
