And The Walls Came Tumbling Down

I'm not in the mood to blog, but the thought of getting behind is worse, so here I am.

I am happy to report that yesterday's work party was a rousing success.
Justin didn't show because he had much more important things going on...
like bringing his wife and their newborn daughter home from the hospital.
YAY!
The Brunty's dropped in briefly...
they'd only come into town from Jackson to be introduced to their new niece and 
to check out a house in Willard that they may end up renting and 
then they headed back Wyoming way lickety-split like.
  All other Mossi's were present and accounted for.

I think the highlight was when all the men together pushed on the brick from inside and 
they went tumbling down with a big boom - the brick walls, not the men.
Cowboy and Cupcake came along too and I appointed myself their 
safe-keeper during all the commotion.
We hung out in the trailer, out of the rain, and built a robot out of Lego's and created a barnyard with one of my sticker books and ate blueberries and Anna's ginger thins.
Needless to say, I didn't do any demo work, although I did get to do a bit of demo clean up in the evening time. I can hardly wait to dig in tomorrow and get more of that cleanup done
while Mr is at his 9 to 5 - the mess makes me anxious.
And, YES...mercifully, it rained off and on throughout our work party.
It was nice and cool and what a blessing!

So, without further adieu, here are the pics...


The south gable and wall are still up because we have to wait for the power company to do their inspection of our temporary power pole and then transfer the lines. 
Mr would do it himself if it were legal.

WE'RE ALMOST THERE!
We are SO CLOSE to construction now and we are EXCITED.

One last thing...
it is so fun to be out working  on the project during the day.
Many of our PV family regularly drive past and honk and wave to us as they go by 
(actually, they did that when we were still living in the house whether we were inside or out)
sometimes they even stop and visit for a while and we especially love that. 
What a treat!
But it's funny that since the house has really looked like there's a big deal going on with it, 
total strangers slow way down and just gawk at what's going on. 
It's so funny. 
They totally have expressions of disbelief on their faces. 
We get a good laugh out of it.

It would be really great if I invested a little more in my presentation here, but this will have to do...
that bad blogging mood, remember.

G' night, y'all.
