Friday's Progress Report

I wanted to let you know that we are doing well...working hard to get the house to the point that we can leave it for two weeks for our trip to Dayton and to visit family in the South.

This is what we have done to this point...this is strange looking. It's a heating system of our own design. In theory it will work well...everybody pray with us that we don't drive a nail through the tubing while we construct the rest of the house!! We have faith that with some planning and marks on the floor, we will miss the tubing every time!!



Now realize, that is a shiny foil that is under those boards. This photo was taken on a nice cloudy day...a great day to work...then the sun came out!!



It was like working on an oversized tanning bed...boy was it hot. We learned quickly that we would work early in the morning and after 5:00 PM. No need to fight that sun another day!!

On another note, I was greeted this morning by the scent of the pine trees. You must remember that with Ponderosa pines in abundance, that smell is not that of pine but of vanilla...you'll have to come experience it for yourself if you don't believe me. It was a wonderful fragrance of Spring.
