North Wall Frame Is Up!

 His and hers.  Couldn't resist.
 Yup, 2 drills!
 And more tools...(coca cola in the morning!)
 That's Doug!
 Working hard.
 Handy cubbies for tools.

 Lots of time spent on a ladder!

 From back yard looking into the soon-to-be extra room.
 Check out that OLD boom box!   Ha, ha.
Doug's still on that ladder!  Next stop, the south wall frame.

More Roof!

 Like diamonds in the sky!
 Beautiful!

 The crepe murtle tree in the corner will provide a bit of shade at the front of the room.
Last view before Doug begins the wall frame! (Next post.)

Roof Framing

 It doesn't look like much, but the first boards up made me VERY HAPPY!
 Doug on the ladder with his trusty drill.
 Roof frame connected to garage roof.
 Lunch break.
 Back to work.
 Lots of tools to get the job done!
 I know it doesn't look like much, but this marks the new beginnings of a new room!
Stay tuned!  More roof coming soon!

RAIN DELAY...

 DARN IT!  RAIN MEANS CONSTRUCTION DELAYS!  There's only one thing I dislike more than blue tarp.
 A LADDER NOT IN USE!  There's only one thing I dislike more than a ladder not in use.
TWO LADDERS NOT IN USE!  Well, we need the rain, so during this delay...
 Remember the bird nest built inside my blue lantern?  We had to relocate it during construction.  We moved it to the end of the garage roof. 
 Mama bird found her nest and the eggs hatched!
Sweet feathered sleeping babies....
 And lots of bird poop!
