Good Progress

Work on the Bungalow got sidelined for most of the week.
It was a bit frustrating.
Dean had to do some impromptu work on our ol' truck
 (rear brakes, fuel pump & fuel pump wire harness) 
that he just finished this morning.
 
The man...he can fix anything. 

Today was busy and I was gone for most of it.
My sweet friend, Dj, went to the temple for the first time.
It was wonderful to be there with and for her.
And it was wonderful to be there with so many of our PV10th brothers and sisters.
I rushed back to town to be at Natalie's home for Kimberly's baby shower.
Nat did a fine job as hostess and confection chef.
When I finally arrived back at the Bungalow I was excited to see the progress.
A few pics...

About an hour before I left for the temple,
President Mikail, our neighbor and the second counselor in our Stake Presidency, 
came over in his workin' duds and joined Dean up on the roof joists and 
helped take down the top of the chimney. They were working on that when I left.
When they finished with the chimney top they took down all the joists together.
I got back just before 8 pm to find Mr Mossi still goin' at it on the framing and celotex removal.

The North End

The South End.
The South gable is still up because the electricity is attached to it.

Sheesh!
Those men worked hard today.
We are so thankful to Pres Mikail.
What wonderful neighbors and leaders we have here.

Dean figures we can have all the exterior walls down by next Saturday...
unless we have anymore surprise repairs on our vehicles - let's nope not.

I sure hope this hasty post makes some sense.
Goodnight, y'all.
