All walls are up except one! The gentleman in the photo (besides Lee to the left) just stopped off the road one day and offered to help any way he could. He offered any of his tools or anything else we might need. He put his money where his mouth was today and helped for several hours, brought his ladders, saw and nail gun. Thank you, Frank Garcia (he doesn't speak espanol--go figure).

All of the walls except 2 are up. Yippeeee! It's been really hot but cooler weather is on its way for a few days.

The Walsh family came to help today--a 5 hour drive (to and from) but they came and worked their little buns off. James, Jamie, Vicki, Jared and Ryan Walsh--such good friends.

We now have 2 closed in walls in one of the guest bedrooms (we call it James and Sharon's bedroom). It's lookin' up!

It's coming along! My cousin, Charlie Iwasko came and helped Lee again today. We had a beautiful day--a little warm--but beautiful. As long as I feed them (it's the least I can do), I wonder if people will keep coming to help? :)

We have walls! Elders Horn and Chappell help Lee every Monday so they came again today and helped put up our first walls.

We got almost 2" of rain yesterday. Our lot hadn't dried out from the last rain! But we're expecting beautiful (and hot) weather for the next 5 days.
