the progress is wonderful!!!  I truly did not believe it would happen until now, when I can see it… the wood, cement, the change…on my  little lot… my little house.. MY OWN house… It truly is the only thing I have that will secure my future.  I have no retirement, I have no investments.  I only had my house.  and now, seeing it grow from the bottom up gives me hope and strength and a sense of peace for my future.  I get to pick exterior colors now… I am looking at other things too, but one step at a time. 

I can deal with that!
