Construction

I worked in construction for 11 years and loved it so much!! I’ve been retired for 4 years and miss it a lot sometimes. Every opportunity I get to build something makes my heart happy! Especially an opportunity to work with my dad again, on top of that to work with my son too! Dad was going to put in a new window in his barn and Peyton and I got to help!! It was a great day of family bonding and teaching my son a trade!!

   Memories for life! I love my family!!

My dad builds houses! Has for as long as I can remember. Growing up we would sometimes get to go visit him at work. It was always such a magical trip! He did a lot of work around the house too, so growing up building and creating was just what went on and of course I wanted to be involved, help as much as I could! After a long time of begging, on a cold winter night, dad said, if you can handle the cold you can come to work tomorrow!!! Yippie!!! I am so thankful for the 11 years I spent working for my dad! It was a family affair!! My dad, brother, uncle, cousins and dads friends that might as well be family were all a part of the crew. My grandpa even worked with us for a few years!! Some of the best years of my life they were! I retired a little over 3 years ago and am now a stay at home mom. It has been a difficult yet wonderful and challenging new life for me. As often as I can allow (I miss it and sometimes wana go back) we go visit my dad and the guys at work. Right now my dad has been working on this monster of a house and we paid him a visit the other day. Here’s a few pictures 😁 

          

A Dream Come True!!

I’m that girl that loves an opportunity to build something!! So, I told you a little while back that I was planning toward building a greenhouse, and it is finally finished!!! It took some planning since we didn’t have any blueprints, only pictures of what I wanted it to look like but we did it!! 

Here we were getting the supplies! 

The process looked like this



And this 

My chickens even joined in the fun!! 



 It was so much fun!! I had some nice days and foggy days and rain to work with, but nothing got in my way! 

And…… Ta Da!!!! 

It is a dream come true to have a greenhouse! I couldn’t be more pleased with myself and everyone that helped make this happen! As I stood outside staring at my greenhouse (that’s right, my greenhouse, I still can’t hardly believe it)  the sun was going down and made my greenhouse glow! What a sight!!



Do you have a greenhouse? I’d love to see your pictures!!! Happy growing people ✌️❤️😃

I have been wanting a greenhouse for a long time, and it’s finally happening!!! Yippie!! I love Pinterest, and have been surfing through all the info I can find on building, designing and maintaining one. My dream greenhouse would be made of old windows and full of character but, for now something like this will have to do.
