The Think House

Hyrum had a great idea on a way to spend time with his boys while building something.  He decided to build a little "think house" in our back yard.  His goal was to work on this together with his boys but the twins didn't really help at all and Julian was eager to help but sort of young to be much help.  Hyrum designed and built this entire project on his own.  The only thing he got help with was the cement truck that came to pour the foundation!  This is such a cozy little addition to our home and I'm so proud of Hyrum for working so hard!

Yes, it took over 3 years to complete!  Hyrum worked on it during weekends when the weather was good and just took his time.  Like I said, he did it all himself.  The building, painting, electrical wiring, shingling.  Every step took time and patience but the whole thing turned out great.  Thank you Hyrum for this little labor of love:)
