Major Milestone

You know those 'major' milestones. They're few and far between, but Blake, Lauren and I just hit one. Yo baby! We're at the top. To the lid it's solid with mud. That was a major, "Puff Up the Chest" kind of physical accomplishment. Last block was set, we waisted no time getting the walls poured........and then we left to go to a wedding. And what a good wedding it was! Only now, as I return alone do I fully appreciate what we've done. Took an idea, complicated the hell out of it by getting artistically round, overcame that foolishness like "Mac-Guyver" would.......... and Hey! We're there boys and girls. F#@*-in eh! I love and respect my building partners.

However, we're not done. It's only the middle of the project. We've got some more orchard nursing to do. These trees are still adolescent. They're healthy but they need our love to survive. And we're at the roof stage on the house. The make it or break it phase. We have to establish the posture of this house with it's roof. It's all about the hat! We'll be stylin' if we pull that look together. It's going to take some thinkin' so as Blake says, "let's get mental." I can't do it without you. Come back. Come back.
