Ohio Heismanns

It was wonderful seeing more of our family in Ohio. Dan & his brother, Carl, enjoyed playing golf, even in the rain.

More Heismanns

We sure enjoyed our time with Aunt Helen, Kenn, his wife, Cindy, and their son Walter. Thanks for the yummy cookies, Walter.

Kentucky Farm

On our way to Ohio, we stopped in Kentucky at the Flying H Angus farm to visit cousin Kenn Heismann and his family. They own 2 bulls, 30 cows and 31 calves.

Heismanns

Jeff, Stephanie, and Drew came to see us Sunday afternoon. Jeff, our nephew, is Dick's son. The last time we saw them was about 6 years ago in MO at a Thanksgiving family reunion.

Art in the Alley

Once a month, during the summer, Henderson Art Commission, sponsors Art in the Alley in downtown Henderson from 6:30 to 8:30. This picture shows Sandy surrounded by her beautiful stained glass art.

Mower Madness Mess

These are Dick's retirement projects.

Dick & Sandy Heismann

We're visiting Dan's brother, Dick, and his wife Sandy. They live in Henderson, TN and are also building a house. Look at all of those angles in their attic!

Fun at the Park

Last week Noah and I took a walk to the neighborhood park in Golden.

Lesson

Jennie worked with three students today on horsemanship skills. What a great teacher!

Picnic

We gathered at Zac & Jennie's for a family picnic. Zac was the cook and Jennie was in charge of bubbles for Noah.

sunflowers

We are enjoying these beautiful sunflowers while camping at the "Heismann Ranch," here in Golden.

Slab on Grade

Today they poured the floors of our house. They arrived about 7 am and the last of the four cement trucks left about 11am. The Canon Cement crew is working hard to get everything done today. Tomorrow they will cut in the grooves to help minimize cracking of the slab.

Cutting

Dan has been cutting the foam at a 45 degree angle along the foundation walls.

Leaks

The water system wasn't holding air - for the second time. Although it passed inspection, it developed two leaks. Hopefully this will be the last leak and we can get the slab poured later this week.

Radiant Floor Tubing

Two men from Ted's Plumbing & Hydronics are installing the tubing. Dan is finishing up the "fines" in the garage area.

Our own dump station

Pushing the gravel

Gus and Nancy came for a few days on their way home from Creede, CO where they were attending an RV rally. We sure enjoyed their visit and help today!

Double rainbow

This view of the double rainbow is to the east. The garage area has about several inches of "fines" or gravel, in preparation for the radiant floor tubing.

Cutting the Foam

We were lucky to have our friend, Curt Sorenson, help us install insulation under the slab. After Curt and Karen finished taping the insulation, Curt cut the foam for the stem walls. Dan was busy putting glue on the foam for the stem walls.

Garage floor is "foamed"

We have put down the black plastic and the foam on the garage floor. We still need to put foam on the sides of the stem wall in the garage area.
