Day 12

First we had some excitement, and no pictures on Tuesday. I was going into town for a hair appointment, and I saw a Red Tailed Hawk, sitting next to a bush, on the ground, right next to the driveway. I stopped and got within 2 feet of it. It just sat there. You could tell that it's right wing was broken. I was in a hurry, but knew I would call the DNR when I got home. Nope, still no cell phone. Well, it was gone when I got home. The neighbor had seen it, gotten pictures, and called DNR, and they came and got it. Don said that there were several birds swooping at it, and pestering it. Just wish I could have gotten a picture of that. It was so gorgeous.


OK, are you bored yet? My calculations are that Ron has put in 72 man hours. He is usually here for 6 hours, daily. He drives an hour each way every day he comes down.


So now we have the front of the building, and man does it make a huge difference. It just looks so cool. Here is Don checking it out.

I think this give a better perspective on the size of this thing. Miss Haleigh is blowing bubbles.

The front 1/2-2/3 will be for the cars, then the back part is going to be one big room for whatever Don wants. Don't know what Ron will work on next, I suppose the soffit on the east side, and put in garage doors. Hopefully that stinking window will come in soon, so the back wall will be done. We are assuming that he uses and extra guy for the roof. We, (ok, Ron) are very close to being done, with this stage.

This looks HUGE. Russ would be so jealous of Don. He really would like for us to have a building where we can store our own travel trailer. Maybe years down the road we can do that, but right now our neighbors store the trailer and boat for us and that works and is cheaper than a new building. Maybe if Russ gets home this weekend, we'll drive by..quickly so Russ doesn't get any real BIG ideas.
