The lights are on!

 We are so excited about the lights, Jason makes a makeshift plug so we can see them on! This is a feeling of real progress!
 Will fall in full swing, Jason continues to finish the outside projects including the planter boxes around the front!
The recycled lumber made a beautiful entry area! I was able to plant mums and add some pumpkins from the garden to get the fall decorating out of  my system!
 Here are just a few of the pumpkins from the patch! We had a bunch and sold many on site! This is a tradition we hope to continue! It was time consuming, but we enjoyed every minute of it!
Even Milee is enjoying the finished front porch! She enjoys watching the traffic going by and takes her place by the front doors "guarding" the place!

Lights!

 I finally get to break out the outdoor lights! We bought these before the building ever went up!
 The first one is up! Look better than we ever expected!
 Milee helps place electrical boxes in the living quarters..or at least thinks she is helping..maybe a little play time is in order!
 The front lights are placed perfectly next to the doors! Now for the West side of the walkway!
 They are soooo pretty! Can't wait to see them lite up!
They are all up! It looks amazing!

August went by fast!

 We hired a company to "fix" our concrete in the living quarters. What started as a few day job turned into the entire month!
And this is what it looks like after! Wish we would have never done this! These guys have the guts to say "it's within industry standards". Yep..no pay for them!
