Not a whole lot to report today.
Having some breakfast
Ready to go
We are not on vacation after all; we are working. And we really are: Billy is roofing, Anne Marie painting, I’m hanging drywall, Kitty and Anna are mudding and taping, and Trudy is doing whatever needs to be done, whenever it needs to be done. But everyone is working hard. We’re beat when we get back to home base each night but in good spirits and enjoying each other’s company.
We didn’t meet any homeowners today, which is unfortunate.
We Do Dishes too!
One more pic, a little humor. I took this photo of Jacob Bartsch relaxing after supper. I didn’t notice at the time how much leg he was showing:

I took a break from writing this post to respond to a request (which was more like blackmail) by one of the Crew Leaders to play “Folsom Prison Blues”. I got halfway through when one of the MDS Directors interrupted and tore a strip off of me. Interesting scenario. It killed the mood in the room pretty quickly. Usually I get in trouble on purpose; this was completely unintentional.
