Captains Log #6

Tuesday, July 5 – Up early, into GF, HD – where in the hell is our lumber!!!  We were  able to get the glue lam and floor joists delivered later that day by an employee with a large trailer rig and a bad back.  "I'll deliver it, but you"ll have to unload it!"

The girls are  still acting crazy and Jackie slipped off just long enough to nip MS in her leg!  What is happening here!!!  I totally lost my voice from Home Depot stress!!  might be a good thing, that.

                                                           And that was Home Depot run #2.

Always time for ear scratches!

We'll dig for buried treasure while we wait for the lumber to arrive!

 

Wednesday, July 6 – To clear out all of the old flooring boards from in front of the foundation, Ron and the girls and I went into Cascade to the dump,  Then back to the land where we loaded up yet another trailer full of old lumber and then the girls and I  made a second dump run while Ron, MS and BS waited for our neighbor Steve with his backhoe to come and set our gluelam in place.  Since I was already out with the trailer, after unloading all the stuff at the dump, the girls and I went into Great Falls and picked up the flooring sheets and siding.

BS and MS started painting the siding sheets!  Then it was time for some relaxation around the fire ring! Peg was heading out in the morning, not necessarily wanting any more dog bites.  Where IS your adventure, Sis?!?!  Think of the stories!  HUGE black bear, you saved us all, small limp is the sacrifice you made to save the family!  WE WERE ALL SO GRATEFUL!!!

         And that was Home Depot run #3.

Loading up for a trash run!

Up she goes!

Little did they realize just how much their arms would ache after HOURS of this

Hey! Is that a paint roller I see in the fire?

I like mine flamin'!
