Interior wall framing & start of loft

After a hard day of work at play... being cuddled by his Auntie Tanji while she studies.

Tim put those humungous beams up by himself w/ a little motorized lift we have. Everyone is amazed at the work Tim can do by himself!! My mom has always called him the one armed wall paper hanger.

Another beautiful sky up in Beaver. The skies are always sooo beautiful up there.

Hanging the very first TJI over our room for the loft.

This was a monster!

Seconds before this pic was taken, Tim was almost bapped on the head by that humungous TJI ... it tipped and fell and then Timmy lost his balance on the ladder. It was a near miss and scared the bajeebers out of us! I almost had a coronary heart attack.

This was a lost dog... we were calling him "Ralphie"... but after two weeks without his owners, he's been reunited today. He got lost during a camping trip, about three miles from us.

He was one of the ugliest dogs I'd ever seen, but he was so incredibly sweet and lovable...

how you not love this mug?? I was so happy he will be w/ his real owners, but sad too b/c he was so sweet. So all while his owners were sick over losing him, he was lounging around on the deck.
