It's here! It's here. Our wood package finally arrived. (Thurs. June 26) And so did the day we would begin the real work on our house. We showed up ready to work on Thursday night and were pleasantly surprised to see all this lumber out in front of our house. We were even more surprised and happy to see that we would be able to work on our house. We began by putting on the green plate. Julie started by sweeping our house for the first time. 
She promises it's not the last time. As for me I started putting the greenplate down, and Julie helped just as soon as she was done sweeping. It was so exciting to actually get out and work on our own house. The way the greenplate works is that you measure the bolts that are sticking out of your foundation and then drill corresponding holes into a specially treated board. Then you tighten nuts down onto the bolts to hold the boards down. This is what your floor will be built on. Pretty cool, eh?
