En Gedi's Addition

Last year we started making some updates on En Gedi.

We started the addition, but sadly the contractor we

hired didn't work out, and so in January of this year

we once again started getting bids from companies and 

were able to continue with the construction.

When we first built En Gedi we painted the house

an off white, and I loved all the light it reflected

in the house. What I didn't think about was the effect

the combination of puppies, children, and Jamaican

dirt would have on the off white paint. Our house

constantly looked dirty (was covered in dirt) and

it didn't wash off easily.

With the construction being started up again the original

En Gedi was given a new (dirt hiding) paint color that

will now match the color of the addition.

            The first week back on the project, the footers were dug, 
         (through almost solid rock),  and you can see the layout

  of the first floor.

      The steel was added and concrete footers poured so

 Monday they could start laying the block.

So thankful to have this started, and hopefully soon

finished.:)
