More house Pics

Hubby has started the mudding in the room on the ceiling an the entryway. It has some progress!!! Maybe next month we will get some sheet rock to put up.

I am getting very excited to see our entryway coming together and having a nice organized mud room. Next year we will start replacing windows!!

DIY project finished!!

I know I have said this before, but I LOVE pinterest. I love searching what other people have done and put my own personal spin on it. Hubby has been working all day long making rustic lockers for our entryway.
Here are the in process pics and then finished result!!

They way I took the picture you can only see 3 lockers but there is a 4th one attached as well.
The only thing left to get for the 5th bedroom is 1 more bag of insulation, sheet rock and the 2 doors.  It will be nice looking back seeing in progress pictures and seeing a finished product!!

Room update via pics

Here are a couple more photos of the room being framed in and a pic of where I planted my bulbs.

Bulbs are Planted

I planted Shirley tulips, purple tulips, red tulips, daffodils and crocus bulbs today. In the next couple of weeks I will be planting a piece of my great grandmother's Peony that my mom has. The only other thing I want to plant are some iris. I will have flowers planted in memory of my late grandmothers.  When I am able to get some of the peony I will go to my grandmothers house and get some of her forsythia. It will probably take a couple of years to grow enough to see them turn yellow in the spring buy I am very excited to have some plants that belong to my family.
In the spring my grandmother will be giving me some purple and white lilacs. The lilacs are from a bush at the farmhouse my mom grew up in and also we lived in for a couple of years growing up.
I weeded the annual flower bed in front of the house as well as the side one.
Hubby put a bedroom door up for the youngest 2 boys.

Husband has been busy framing in our 5th bedroom and putting the flooring in.

Here is looking from inside the room out. Our ladder to the attic will be within the new bedroom. Hubby is wiring new outlets. 

I will post some more pics as the bedroom is done more.

A little Photo update

We added a new light to the entryway.  Which I didn't think at first would like....but now that hubby has installed it I do love how the light is casting.

Doesn't it give the entryway a cozy glow?
Hubby has been busy after work building our 5th bedroom. Here is hubby teaching one of the boys how to measure and cut.

Floor is being built. Not bad for once being the garage!!

I love seeing progress being made:)

I will post more pics as the room is being worked on

Poor chickens

I'm saddened to say our little flock of chickens are slowly dwindling down. We now have 3 girls left. The "runt" of the girls got trampled.
The other 3 girls seem to be doing good. I just wish they would start laying eggs!! They are not impressed being shut in their coop at night but the last 2 nights we have had a frost and I definitely do not want them getting too cold.
We are going to move their coop closer to the house for winter so I do not have as far to walk to feed them.
I believe next year we are going to make a barn out of pallets. We were going to make a chicken coop ouy of them but could not find any pallets. Of course now that we bought a little coop we have found quite a few pallets.
This weekend we begin building the 5th bedroom. I will be happy when that is finished and we are able to paint the entryway. Hopefully in the spring we will finish putting siding where the addition is.
I certainly do lover our home. Eventually we will out a covered porch on the back side of the house.  We want steps down to a patio where we would like an outdoor kitchen covered by a pergola.
Time for me to bring our son and daughter to school. Have a great day!!
