http://rammfamily.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 1, 2011. Foundation and Framing with a (LARGE) side of mud. I am so behind on posting! It has been 2 months since I last posted picks of the house and it is coming along quickly! And so the house is taking form. Katie and Cassie are finally starting to "see" the house and are so excited (have I mentioned apartment life doesn't agree with us? As I post this, the framers are finishing 2nd floor framing walls and our contractor is ordering trusses (I know! I'm a whole floor behind on posting!
