Huppstead
We have called our little South Carolina homestead יְהֹוָה יִרְאֵה (Jaweh Jireh) Haven. יְהֹוָה יִרְאֵה (Jaweh Jireh) means “The LORD will provide.” This name of God is taken from Genesis 22:14. After God had commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac on Mount Moriah, at the last moment the angel of God commanded Abraham not to harm the boy, but God Himself provided a ram to sacrifice in Isaac’s place.
Lakeside Addition 6 – Pour Prep
Today the final preparation for the pouring of the concrete was completed.
Lakeside Addition 4 – Footings
After several days of rain, the footers were dug, poured, and cured – ready for the block work.
Lakeside Addition 2 – Side Deck Demolition
The project continued today with the demolition of the side deck, and the completion of the leveling for the basement floor.
Lakeside Addition 1 – Tree Removal
The day finally arrived for work on the addition to begin. The biggest events of the day were the removal of two trees by Tim Nabors of Superior Tree Service. This man’s skills are awe inspiring.
Lakeside Addition – Site Preparation
We had a lot of homework to do on the site before work on the addition could begin.
Lakeside Addition – Preliminaries
Before we started on the addition, we expanded the kitchen by taking out a wall and building in-wall pantry storage shelves.
Lakeside Addition – The Plan
The Lake Becky house needs a number of improvements. Rather than piecemeal them together, we decided to hire a contractor to make them and build an addition with a large studio, and master suite.
