HAPPY 39th Birthday Scotty!!

I couldn't be more excited to be celebrating Scott's 39th birthday today, especially here in Wyoming! Well technically we celebrated it a bit in MT too - We went to breakfast at the Red Lodge CafĂ© here in Red Lodge, MT. 

We may have a bit of a 'chill' day today!  The first day in some time actually.  And our wonderful neighbors out here, Joe and Helen, have invited us to dinner to celebrate!!  It seems like no matter where we go, our neighbor have become our family.  Back in OH we had the best neighbors (and I just found out Charlotte is coming to visit us here really soon!!!) and here it seems to be no different.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day today!!

Building Update:

We are still making progress - this week our windows/doors, siding, and roofing will arrive.  We have just a little bit of foam left to put up on the gable ends of the house, but we've been fighting the sun - early mornings and late nights seems to be the only way we can work on the south facing side of the house because of the heat radiating off of the foil backed insulation.

But we're getting there! Once we get the rest of the foam and the 1x4's (as furring strips) up, then all we need is windows/doors and technically we can move into the house while we are putting on the siding and the roofing. 

As soon as we finish all the foam/1x4s, I'm going to post more pictures and thorough explanations about the foam - why we are using it, how it's going to help, why so thick, how we are attaching it, etc.
