We decided that because of the slow market here we are probably going to be in this house through the winter and so we then decided we wanted a garage! So Todd is putting one in! It's pretty big, like 1150 sq ft. Dimensions are 32x36. It is going to be pretty sweet. I am getting so excited! We currently have a storage shed we rent for all of Todd's tools and bikes, etc. So having them close to home will be nice. Plus we didn't want to stack up our house full of our stuff(for showing potential buyers) so there is a lot of stuff I have been missing too! So that will be nice. We are also getting our food storage in order and having it all on shelves easy to count, organize, etc will also be so helpful!
Todd's dad came down this week and helped too. They put trusses on and sheeted the roof. Todd said it was so nice to have someone to help with that part and having Randy visit was a treat too! They got so much done and had a good time doing it too!
We also had a carport put in for our boat. We hate having a few feet of snow stack up over the winter and stretch out the boatcover. So we decided to just get a carport for it. We are really glad about it as now we don't have to worry about it weathering so much.
We also put in a front yard (well Todd did!). It really makes the place look cute. Surprisingly so we both decided. It's just a little grass and a little sprinkling system, but spruced the place right up! So yes we (Todd) has been keeping himself plenty busy trying to get it all done before winter. And fixing it up nice like this has made us second guess moving! Of course we wouldn't move until it sells, but who knows, we might decide to stay a while!

Wow! Tell Todd I am impressed with his skills. Tell him to start teaching them and we may have to come learn some time. What a valuable thing to learn. By the way, I love your blogging too, it keeps me up to date on your crazy life. P.S. how are you feeling?
You will need all that storage for baby stuff. They seem to out grow everything so fast that it is so hard to keep up with it! We are consolidating out stuff and cleaning out all of our storage. I am in the nesting mood already so time to take advantage of it. Time to have my own garage sale in the spring before baby!
The garage looks good. Wish I could of been there to help. It would of been fun to do a project together again. I think the last one we did was Dad's brick sidewalk at the old house. Oh and what Amanda said about babies outgrowing stuff fast, I recommend plastic tubs, lots of them!!
