DAY SIX (Friday): Anthony came out to help before work and Otis came and spent the morning helping again. Later in the evening, Anothony returned to help and Hans and Lyle came to assist also. The roofing is started and finished in one day! While Creighton and Otis are roofing in the morning, Britton, Tipton, and Anthony install the windows.Tipton goes to work framing in our new, higher and wider opening for the stairs between the kitchen and living- /family- /great- room (whatever we finally decide it is going to be). We aren't going to open up the ceiling and doorway untill everything is well insulated and child-safe, but the support framing will all be there so we can simply remove what is needed when the time comes.
Another thank you goes out to our babysitters, Courtney and Amber, who watched the girls for a few hours Thursday and Friday evening (as well as the previous Saturday), and to their mother, Karleen, for making us dinner and dessert. It sure went fast!
