It may be little... but it is wired like a biggen!

We wanted to catch everyone up on our electrical! Our home is wired and lights are on!!! WOOHOO!! That has been a huge step for us! We may have more outlets needed but we won't be running extension cords. :) Running the wire was a task and I can't be more thrilled that it is behind us.

 

Once we figured out where the HEART of our home would be... we placed the electrical panel and started the most pain ordeal... running the wire through the walls. We did this before we had the insulation sprayed but I forgot to post it! :)

THE CONSTRUCTION STARTS

We built the deck to go on our house yesterday. It is a 12 x 8 deck for now. We can always add onto it. This will give us room to do a lot of the prefab cutting and a landing pad while we work on the interior. We are very excited!  Our house should be here on Wednesday if everything goes planned. The delivery date has been moved twice due to truck issues with the delivery company. 

Our deck is made from 2x10's. The actual size of the deck is 12x8. We went ahead and built the frame of the deck in our current garage. So that once the building arrives, we can assemble the deck on site and have a good landing area to work. 

The picture above is the bottom of the deck. We went ahead and built is upside down and used a few corner braces for support.
