Again, my father-in-law couldn't be persuaded to take a day off, but insisted on helping us. We are so grateful for his help!
Our teenaged son was a big help, also. The little kids just played:)
When I first knew we were going to be building a house, I had an idea. I had a collection of broken rosaries, scapulars, statues and other religious items that needed to be disposed of properly. Burying them was a legitimate option, so I decided to collect them and bury them around our house! Well, on Saturday, I buried all of the items I collected on the inside wall of our walkout basement, so they will end up under the concrete basement floor! We also sprinkled a ring of blessed salt around the perimeter of the property, and used a whole jug of holy water to bless the place! In addition, I buried blessed St. Benedict medals around the house and Miraculous Medals at the corners. It is a spiritual fortress!!!! Of course, after the house is built, we will have a priest come to bless the house and probably do an enthronement of the Sacred and Immaculate hearts. I was excited to have the opportunity to have blessed objects buried around my house.
On Monday, our well was drilled. We found water at 320' down and the well man drilled down to 400' to give us extra storage. We are getting 3 gallons per minute, and with 400' of water storage, we should have plenty of water for our family. For some odd reason, I felt a great deal of relief when they found water...don't really know why, but, I am glad it is done.
Big and VERY noisy truck!
