A long long time ago, when I was twelve years old my parents thought it would be so cool to buy a house. As they told there six daughter we were all excited about this due to that we were living a trailer. But there was a clincher, they told us that we were going to build the whole house together. Now at my age this didn’t sound like fun at all. But we were all told that we would all have are responsibility to help out and work.
We started in March when the ground was cold and wet due to the snow fall from that winter. We poor the foundation with some of my uncle help due to that this is a big enough project as little girl we would just get in the way. One this was done we then put the walls to the house. Some of our responsibility was …show more content…
The size of this beam was 2 x 12 and it was 14 feet long. This was very heavy and for a twelve year old it seemed to 80 feet long. My thought that his girls were supper woman and that the three of us could do a man job. So my dad put in a plan that use girls would hold up one end, as he would put up and in the other end of the beam. So we all pick up the one end and stood on a plank, we got into place and held it as my dad went to the other side lifted it up and put into place. A plank in construction is when you have a board resting on two ladders. My sister and I did are best on holding this beam up. My mom to this day say that she held up most of the beam on are side I would have to agree. As we continued to hold up the beam it was starting to slip on are end, we had to reposition are self that this very heavy beam wouldn’t crush anybody. Due to lifting with are head and hands. At this point we never thought that my dad would ever come back to get the beam into place. We he did and we are able to laugh at the …show more content…
So we took the weekend off right before school started and went up to Heber City. We all love that we were getting away for the weekend to have some good old leisure time away from the house. We check into a hotel that night. My dad was always one to get up before use. This morning he did and came back into the room and told use that he found are future husbands. I was kind of excited about this. I thought that there was some cute boys outside. We all got up and went outside to and we asked my dad were are the guys at and he said look. We looked and all we could see were six cowboys carved out of wood. There were also bears there to. My mom thought this was really cool and she really liked idea. But one of my parents put in are heads that it would be great that all six of use get married at the same time, they never knew that this would back fire on them later down the road. We then finish getting ready for the day, so that we could play and enjoy the day as a family.
It took the family about seven months to build the house. There is so many story in building this house that when we get together as a family we will sit and talk about them and tease each other about different things. Like breaking an arm by tripping over a dirt clod, holding the beam, going for shake runs, and my parents showing use all how to work in many ways thru this
