Keeping Busy!

We had to take a break from working on that darn roof
and catch up on some other areas of the house;
Monday we framed up the exterior walls of the bonus room
with the help of Tom and Mariane.
Tuesday night I had to go to work but when I left the crew
(Brandon, Tom, Mariane, and Brian) were
putting up sheeting on the bonus room.
Can't wait to see their progress!!












 thought i'd show off our progress from the weekend!!



 And who can resist taking a break when these cute girls are visiting?!

Yet another productive weekend!

Saturday and Sunday proved to be WAY more productive than
we could have hoped for......again some of our strong supporters showed
up in full gear and helped us with the dreaded roof.
Couldn't have done it without you guys, THANKS!
Derek, Dad and Brian started sheeting the roof
while Tom mixed up some concrete so Tom Oak
could lay the block for our porch...





Here's Tom setting out blocks for Mr. Oak

 They have a system worked out for their way of doing things,
I think they've worked together before ;)

And back for another day of roof work is Mr. Sam Gramling,
I think he was hoping we'd be on to something else by now!



Can you match the person to their legs?!

A view from afar of what the house is looking like these days...
Dave, Brian and Tom worked hard this morning to set the rafters over
the bonus room/dormer that have peaks on them.



Beans didn't want to miss out on all the fun!!




These pictures aren't zoomed in folks, I truly am right up there with these boys....
working a little but mostly taking pics and enjoying the views!

What are these boys looking at?? 
 Its a bird, Its a plane, no wait--its Tom Beer!
He wanted to see the view up here too!


That's dad being Brian's Toe Hold while he nails;
he sure is the jack of all trades ;)




Aaaaawwww!


 You can see the windows in the great room better now that the roof is sheeted!
There will be a fireplace in the center where the sheeting is.

Aaaaawwww!
So proud of all their hard work today :)

Can't thank our parents enough for all the love
and support they've put into making our
house a HOME!
