House Update- Roof, Basement Floor, Kitchen and Tub

Its hard to move fast when the weather has a hard time cooperating! Nevertheless things are moving- just not a quickly as we had hoped for February! Justin has been working hard and in the last couple weeks he has gotten a few things checked off the list-

✔ Started shingling the roof. Southside and East side done! Now he needs to wait until it warms again to work on the Northside and West side (which is the hardest of our roof line and it connects to the Garage roof) 

Why is he doing this not in the summer?? Before we can drywall or insulate it has to stop leaking on the inside. The titan walls have done a good job protecting the inside- but it still needs to be water tight before we can move on with some of the inside.

✔ Master tub and stand alone filler arrived!! I was questioning Justin as to why we had to decide on this a couple weeks ago- but apparently the plumber needs these measurements to do his rough in. We totally switched around the entire master bath in January and we both felt really good about it! The tub is for a single person- and not large by any standard- but its enough for me :) Justin has this thing about "stewing in his own filth" so the bath is for ME!

✔ Basement in floor heading in! We have been heating this basement since Dec 2022. Trench for the plumber. Getting it levelled and gravel spread. Then insulating and NOW in floor heating. This is something we wanted in both other builds but just didn't happen. We know our family will LOVE this feature next winter and cant wait!

✔ Kitchen ordered- and I can NOT wait until Justin gets the mock up and have asked almost every day if he has gotten the email yet. Picture- white, wood, sage green, no uppers, huge island, gold (or black) pulls and farm house sink. Guys... its going to be awesome.

Selman Dinner

Today was such a fun day with family!

Justins Aunt and Uncle came up to Canada with all of their kids and grandkids to spend a week Skiing and seeing family. Obviously we all wanted to see them- so Grandma Moxley arranged with Aunt Karen and LuWana to have a family dinner at the church. I may be wrong but out of the 98 descendants of Barker and Mae Selman 80 were able to attend. 

There we sooo many cousins- Remy was in Heaven. She played hard from 4 until we left @ 9:00. Barker was busy playing basketball. Annaliesse wasn't feeling great so she just laid around most of the afternoon. Kalia soaked up all the Camille time she could get- all the snuggles and the hugs. 

Amanda and Karla put together some fun tasting games- where we tried to pick out which snacks were from America and which were from Canada. Justin and I were bang on- as we have done all sorts of these tasting games with our kids. Everyone had a great time.
