Now what everyone asks and wonders...
How is the house coming?
When
using the copy and paste I just randomly grabbed a title from another
page of this website. Ironically the one I grabbed (not even
noticing at first) was the January 8, 2007. Two years ago to this
day we said "Florida Here We Come!" and today we write "Florida Here We
Stay!"
Our
winter so far has been like Spring in the 70's and 60's most of the
time. We do admit that on Christmas not having the the white
fluffy stuff with family and friends it does not feel like a holiday,
but for the rest of the winter we are happy. Our Christmas eve we
spent with friends here in Pensacola, and on Christmas day we spent
together with our little dog Taco and went to the beach for walking and
relaxing.

How could you not love this face!
Welcome to 3408 Edinborough Court...
This
is the front view. The kitchen is to the right, and the center is
the dining room and living room. To the left with no window is
the media room.
Trace
has worked extremely hard everyday as a one-man construction crew to
complete this home. I don't know anyone who could endure not only
the physical endevors, but the mental challenges of accomplishing tasks
that he has never done before. As the outside appears close to finished
there is the inside that he has tackled of plumbing, electrical, heating
and AC all on his own. He actually had to become licensed in HVAC
in order to purchase any of the systems. So he did.
As
of today when I am writing this March 3, 2008 all of that has been
completed. Insulation is next, and thankfully he will not be doing
the drywall by himself. Our estimated date of completion is the
end of April. Keep us in your prayers that we can make that happen.
This
is the back view of the house. To the right is the Master Bedroom
suite, and to the left is one of the Guest Bedrooms. The center
again is the Living room and Dining room.
It is so hard to imagine that everyone of these boards was hammered one by one...
Hopefully it won't take so long to send out another update. I am praying the next one will be "WE MOVED IN!"
