The house continues to grow and the snow continues to fall







Well, we are on our third continuous week of light snow, clouds, and cold. We got a couple inches over the weekend all added up. It was snowing so hard in the mountains on Saturday that we had to abandon our attempts at skiing at Mt. Rose. We couldn't see anything and it was coming down like crazy. Got up on Sunday morning and it was snowing again in Carson City and the mountains were hidden in a veil of gray snow clouds. So, ended up working on cleaning up the house in Carson. Oh, the joy and fun. Did get to buy a new shop vac though and went around sucking up spiders and webs in the garage. Die little suckers, die.

We also went by the house again to see how it was coming along. They had the roof framed in and the houses on either side are getting all framed in also. The darn snow was covering all the exposed wood. I'm hoping we don't have future drywall problems. I'm not thrilled about all the moisture on the framing, but what can you do? You can see the two story home starting to dominate the southern side of our place. That's going to be annoying I think. There's another two story to the south of us also but it will only be looking into one of our windows. Ahh, California style construction.

Dang!! Those are close together. On one side we have 25 feet and the other one is about 35-40 feet. We are on a inverted corner lot so we have a rather large front yard in the shape of a pie piece. Im sure it will look great when its done though!!

In the fence shot, is there going to be another house built in front of there to block your view?

The houses are too close together IMO. But, not much that we can do about it. Glad the outfit fits her. She looks really cute in it.
