Now we're rolling






So here's where we're at now in early October.  We finally got going, weather is cooperating and we've just about got the house framed up.  Soon we'll start the hvac, plumbing, and electrical work inside.  We'll also begin the roof, brick, and siding in the week to come.  Keep you fingers crossed that we don't get a hurricane, nor'easter, blizzard, tornado, earthquake, dust storm, wild fire, hail, lightning, flood, 'el nino, or any other type of crazy thing mother nature can throw at us!!

Just add water!!!




You must be kidding me..... after a hurricane and 7 inches of water, we get a Nor'easter and an additional 4 inches....COME ON!!!

Lets start building






After two weeks of cleaning up water, our house package is on the ground and ready to start

THANK YOU HURRICANE HANAH!!!





This is what happens when a hurricane dumps over 7 inches of rain and you've got an exposed foundation

New Home Updates






Some folks have asked us for updates on our new home....so without further delay....

These are a few pictures of our lot and the beginning of the excavation

Jackson's a Skins fan!!



I know how much the Sherwood and Dady Families were really hoping and praying that Jax would be a fan of their beloved "Black and Gold". However, there are better plans for my son. He is a Skins fan!!! I know what you're thinking......sure he's young, easily influenced, wants to make his dad proud..... However, I had a long talk with him and told him to pick which ever team made him happy. I would be proud either way. He looked at me and said "Dad, I want you to dress me in my Skins outfit and let me watch their game. Then, I want you to change me and put me in my Steelers outfit and let me watch their game. I will let you know which team is my favorite after I have watched and cheered for both". I told him I was proud of him and I followed his wishes.

After watching both games he made it very clear which team was his favorite! Take a look for yourself.
