Barn Raisin

I managed to con Alliance Roofing (happens to be owned by my daughters grandfather...aka my Dad!) into spending their Memorial Day visiting with Annika, and working on building our garage in their spare time! In the wee hours of Friday night there was only a slab with a lot of lumber in piles in our backyard. These first few photos are from Saturday, where most of the framing was completed and the last photo was taken just a few minutes ago, with where they left off. I couldn't believe how fast things progressed while my dad, Adam & Timmy (brothers), Keith and Jonathon (friend from Ft. Rucker who lives here now... has the roommate with a plane!) worked their tails off! Keith had a ball, but they were all quite tired at the end of the day/weekend. We took Sunday off and took the family to church and toured our area to show them where we live. Danielle (sister) came up to visit with us, although I think her primary motive was to hold on to her niece as much as possible... which I was happy to let her do! So we all earned our Alliance Roofing tee-shirts one way or another, being covered in sawdust, spit up or flour (had to suck up to my dad and make all his favorite goodies!). THANKS to all who came and helped!!! We'll update with more pics as Keith and I slowly finish the project!

“Let him who possesses a field, so partake of its yearly fruits, that he may not suffer the ground to be injured by negligence; but let him endeavor to hand it down to posterity as he received it, or even better cultivated. Let him so feed on its fruits, that he neither dissipates it by luxury, nor permits it to be marred or ruined by neglect…Let every one regard himself as the steward of God in all things which he possesses.”

John Calvin
