Kudos to Kendall & his crew

If you are a native northwesterner, you know how mild the summers typically are in the Pacific Northwest. This summer has not been typical when it comes to the weather around here. We have had very hot weather--even over the 100 degree mark! Well, I am not sure how the guys working on our house survived that hot streak, but somehow they came out standing & thankfully, still hydrated. Here's a HUGE pat on the back for Kendall and his building crew for all of their hard work and especially for all of the sweat they poured during those miserably hot days. I am glad for them that the days are much cooler. Thanks construction team!!! Now, I will say a little prayer that you all survive the mad, aggressive, nasty yellow jackets swarming around you all day long. This too, shall pass.

PROGRESS.....

The pictures tell the story. The construction progress is going nice and smooth (my fingers are crossed as I say this) with only a few bumps in the road so far. All of the trusses have been put up, as well as many large beams. The covered area of the porch is being constructed right now and next week the plywood will go on the roof. We finally (it took us a couple of weeks) made one of the biggest decisions that we have had to make so far. The decision was regarding windows and let me tell you, it's so nice to have that decision made. Whew--that was a TOUGH one! More to come later, so stay tuned!
