Lucky…

Ryan is a very lucky boy (ok, I am lucky too)…he has two brothers and a dad (my dad is out of town or I am sure he would have been down there too) that are still more than willing to work on our house while Ryan is working. They helped out a ton! Thanks boys!

Ryan was originally suppose to have Saturday off, but ended up having to work. He was not a happy camper about that, but you do what ya’ gotta do. The trade off for help on Saturday while Ryan was working was I had to baby-sit Grace…she was great and we had fun! They definitely worked harder than I did…

The whole roof on the back was sheeted on Friday...

Can I just tell you how much I dislike our stairs right now...ladders are just scary!

Then on Saturday, they sheeted the front and built the front gables...

It looks great! The boys made a "change order" on the gables. At first the windows were supposed to be 3 ft. x 3 ft. and that is how they built one of them. They went out to the street and looked at the gable window and decided that it was too short and needed to be taller. So, now our gable windows are going to be 3 ft. x 4 ft. I would say that's a great move! See, they even know what looks good!

By the time Ryan got off work the boys were done for the day and pretty much out of lumber anyway. We went down there after Ryan got off work on Saturday and checked out what they had finished. We then just sat there on a front windowsill for about a half an hour talking and taking all the hard work in. I just love it! I am so grateful for a family that is so willing to help out even when Ryan is not able to be there!
