Progress on our house Part 2!

I was having trouble getting the blog to handle all the pictures I wanted so I had to split them up. These pictures are from when the 40ft container arrived until now.

The 40ft container finally arrived Dec. 23

I was a bit nervous as they were setting it on the foundation

Almost set

The containers joined and trusses up

Progress on our house Part 1!

In September we posted about building a house. It showed the design Benj came up with and that we started the foundation. Well I really thought that Benj would be the one to update more often on it but it turns out he would rather build it than blog about building it, go figure. So here is my attempt to update you on the house. Mostly I am posting pictures so if you have questions feel free to ask. We can't wait until it is finished and are excited to move in hopefully when we get back from furlough.
