Weekend 4

A ton of boards got put on the walls again this weekend. Jim came again for the entire 3 days and Tez & Weef put in a long day of work on Saturday.  Deb & Paul watched Blake for the 4th weekend in a row, and we can't thank them enough! They say he's a little angel boy for them, probably because he is basking in all the attention. Nana & Papa have taught him tons of things during his Weekend Retreats, like counting into the teens in English and Spanish, the ABC's have been fine tuned. And they taught him a bunch of new songs, like Old McDonald & Mary had a Little Lamb. Campbell was amazing again this weekend. We barely saw her as she played happily in the loft and in her secret fort for hours on end.

And up.

And up.

And done!

I've been promoted to power tool operator. I finally got the courage to use the nail gun, doing a good job if I do say so myself! Jim & I almost got another wall done in the master bedroom, so there is only 1 wall and the ceiling left in there.

Dining room wall before.

And after. Pictures don't really do it justice, it all looks amazing!

Living room side wall finished too.

The only wall left in the kitchen/living room area is the wall behind the appliances.

This spring, it was overwhelming to think about how many boards we had left to put up. Thanks to a lot of help from many people, we're getting there. I never thought we'd be this far by now. It's so exciting to see the progress! Now next weekend we're going to stay home and rest.
