We made up a bunch of stuff too, sacrilegious for sure, but kids didn’t mean anything by it, I think God has a sense of humor, I see some of his creation. Don’t you just love a monkey?
Anyway I remember one line, ‘On a hill far away, stood an old Chevrolet, its fenders all battered and bent.’
Now back to the building….LOL
Mark brought two helpers today:
they sheeted the roof, okay, sheathed the roof.
We used architectural shingles, called Weathered wood. Here Mark and Antonio are about to set the door.
Henry, was completing the side sheathing.:
While they were busy I started digging my DITCH. Hole in the foundation then to the Motor home port.
Around the Motor home port.
around the back of the port and into the new shed.
This ditch will contain the water line and power lines. Dats a lot of digging for an old man!!!
Ended the day with Sherry’s spaghetti feast. Salad, garlic bread the three types of drinks.
I didn’t think to take a picture until everyone had cleaned their plates.This is Luke up front, out youngest Grandson, just in from school.
Thanks for coming by the log.

This 1961 VW was a neat truck for deliveries.

The dinner looked great and your grandson is a cutie. Still not sure what you are using everything for. But I'm sure I'll see. sandie
OK, in these photos I see 2 storage buildings being merged together, a house foundation and a motorhome! My question is...the house is yours? So you do have a permanent address? I probably missed a memo (or post or 2 or 3) so not up on my information regarding your living/travel situation! The storage building is coming along nicely!
I got a chuckle out of the song "take offs." I think we did that too when we were kids, but Mama discouraged too much of it - she thought it was a bit sacrilegious, too.
I know a man in his eighties who still remembers the bad switching he got as a kid for adding to "Sweet By and By." When the congregation said "In the sweet," he and his friend answered, "Pass the meat." "By and by," "Pass the pie."
The building is coming right along!
Now I want to know where you are going to put that very large clock? I wasn't seeing things, was I?
Funny thing about you all changing the lyrics when you were kids. God does have a sense of humor, for sure. Looks like you fellas are moving right along with your project. Wonderful that you all got to eat together at end of a long day. Dinner sounds great. Your grandson is quite a handsome young man. Must take after you, Jack. LOL Take care.
You are doing well there for sure and feeding the workers is appreciated I'm sure. That is quite a ditch you have there. I guess I never realized all that goes into building. Hope your Friday is a fantastic one!
That's a very nicely restored VW. While no doubt it doesn't ride like a limo, no doubt it rides a whole lot smoother than that 1919 Nash truck you showed yesterday! It's amazing those VWs did as much as they did given how underpowered they are!
You have come along way on the
building. I knew it was going to
be big but just could not visual
it in my mind. You had to dig more
over there than you did here.
Can't wait to see the finished
product.
I can't believe Sherry fixing a
feast after we have been walking
4 miles every day, I tired just
reading about the work. LOL
I do remember making words up to
a song.

Those songs hit home with me. I remember both of them very well.
Your building is coming along very nicely. Everything looks great! ...even the ditch. :)
wonderful where alike is possible. please have you all a good weekend.
Uhm, because, you guys are retired, right?
Yeah, retired. ~Mary
