the walls are up!! the house is all level again :)

the view from the basement into our backyard

Steph helping to measure
Gerry DeVries putting our wall
Dad Vandevelde working on shifting the house over to its original position, we did this with jacks and a huge beam. It had moved 1 inch off the concrete wall but when you think about all the lifting we did thats not even bad. We did manage to move the house back into its original spot.
Derek surveying all the work


the finished walls.. next step, concrete floors, plumbing and electricity
and then we should put in our steps and front door.. we are changing our top level so that when you walk in at the very front of the house then there will be a landing and stairs going up or down.. thats how many houses are done in Canada.

Will your living room get changed at all from the stairs coming in?

a slight change maybe.. it takes out more of the bedroom and laundry actually..
