    If i dropped my procrastination and i was there I'd help you Pull those Zip Board Roof panels off of the house and build the A Frame connecting into the existing house roof Trusses in the attic. Then wed zip board back over the A frame and tie It all back into the house & have it all done & dried in in a day or less. But I'm 4 States away from you and all i can do is make suggestions and chew my fingernails watching as i procrastinate my own projects... 😂

    I was always told as a kid, It's easier to do it right the first time. Gary definitely does it right the first time. Y'all are building a mud room like Fort Knox. If you had to have inspections you would pass with flying colors. Love watching you work together. Can't wait to see it done.

    The main reason to make an abundance of tasty side dishes ( mushroom green beans, stove top dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, etc.) for Thanksgiving is in case the turkey is a bust. Lots of pies and cool whip make everything right. Beautiful tree. Merry Christmas.

    Tell Scarlet I can feel what she feels like,
    I had my first cast on my right arm at 4 years old,
    Broke my left arm in the fifth grade and my right leg in a cast from my ankle to my hip just before I was nineteen.
    Not including stitches burns. I was the accident prone one one the family
    Good luck and hang in there kiddo

    Reminds me of my hubby .. I used to tell him, if you built an ark, it would have sunk. My dad was a carpenter...my sweet hubby, God rest his soal, was not one. But he did a lot of good work on our house we moved on property. And on a two story tiny house he built.

    Keep doing you. I hope you get done what you need to do to get you one step further to closing up the mud room. I'm sure you'll take the winter months to start working on the upstairs inside to get you all moved in sometime in 2025. Here's hoping with Trump winning that prices go down on building supplies so you can afford to get done what you need to.! You two are awesome and hard workers. So nice to see how you care so much for each other and the kids. Do you think now you'll send the kids back to school since all the crap they were teaching will not be happening anymore? I was a teacher for years and I never heard of half the stuff they are teaching theses kids. It confuses them for sure but with strong parenting you can teach your children that no matter what no one can change you. God made you as you are. I have a 13 year old granddaughter who says some teachers are crazy but she ignores them. That's because my two daughters are teachers and tell them be respectful but ignore dumb things. lol all six of my grandkids are pretty smart and don't listen to BS. I'm sure your kids don't either. It's hard work homeschooling kids but it does teach them better social skills. being in school. You do you, but I'd love to see the kids interacting with others than you friends kids. Kwim. They are lovely children but need other kids to grow. Just my opinion. Your kids your way. Love you all!! ❤️💖

    Lol, live and learn. In-laws flew out one Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving morning came, my turkey was frozen solid. So , I snuck outside. Car in the driveway slopping down, so I coasted down the road in neutral. Started the car , and drove 30 mind one way to the only store selling unfrozen fresh turkeys and got back before they woke up. I have never grinned a turkey. Butter basting works well. Put some under the skin too.😊
