Just dropping a quick line.

Well, i’m eating my words, technically, we are done with framing as in no more walls and ceilings but we aren’t totally ready for sheetrock, and i believe that is a big part of what framing entails. I am ok with where we are, now besides the few loose ends to tie up with framing, we are going to start wiring and plumbing. We are also starting the bidding process for sheetrock and insulation. So we’re happy and patiently satisfied.

And on that note, i must dote over my love! Ej is the absolute best first-time pregnant wife i could ever ask for, she has been incredibly helpful and pleasant. Today she even did some mowing! There has been none of this victim mindset that can sometimes, somehow, creep in with prego ladies, Ej’s mindset seems to be more like an excited, thankful pioneer. I am truly grateful for this godly woman and i’m looking forward to whatever life we have left together! Cheers!

Happy Girl!

Skyscraper

This is going to be tall… 20′ sidewalls to be precise, and with a 2:12 pitch roof…

Lift it higher!

I wish i had one of those...

And we finally have window and door openings!

Window openings

A view from the inside.

and now looking north..

We have steel…

It was a misty, moisty morning so at this half way mark (noon) we finally have steel.  Can’t wait till it’s vertical!

Steel-ie-span...

But before you go, enjoy this “Misty Moisty Morning” by Steeleye Span

That just happened!

Wow what a day, it was great, and now we have a foundation to build on!

lets go!

After a little premature start, and dad getting a little upset, the steel is now up and ready to go.

3,2,1, GO!

here's the big picture

first half finished

needs to dry a little more before they get on it

concrete isn't smooth yet

Sign in, don't forget anyone!

Signed in, all there!

complete!

Soon i will be standing in this kitchen.

The day is done, thank you Jesus!

I will leave you with this little poem to accompany this last photo:

The day is done

It surely was fun

Isn’t this a pretty sun
