Here are some pictures from a few days ago that Brady sent me. I can’t believe how awesome it looks!! The 2nd picture is the the bonus room and the 3rd is a guy working inside (above the great room, I think).
Moving along
We headed out to Spring Creek after church on yesterday with Brady’s parents, who are visiting (well his dad works out here, but his mom was visiting) to show them the new place. A lot has been done since we saw it last a week ago. As you can see, the garage pad has been … Continue reading »
