No picture today. It would just be a sad, overcast picture anyway. The backhoe is still broken, so no new work on the septic. Rob thinks he might have dug the first 3 lines too close together, and that he'll have to fill them back in. At least there's no gravel in them. We have $1000 worth of gravel onsite now, and may need more.
We had the floors installed, and there are many gaps. Some of the boards weren't as wide, but I don't understand why the installers didn't pull the bad ones. So Rob is having to fill and refinish our prefinished floor.
Money is draining at an alarming rate. With the gravel and floor costing much more than anticipated, and the refinance on the rental for a cash boost not looking so good, we're getting into a tight spot. Stupid economic downturn.
Both boys are sick today, and probably will be home from school tomorrow. sigh.

Don't be discouraged. You both are doing an amazing job and it will all look great soon and you all will be snug as four bugs in the cute warm home you built with your own hands. When you don't have a picture, post one of the goats...pOp
Thanks for the encouragement. You're right - its not far from being done. We just need to work this out in the best way we can.
