"I will give you a new heart

and put a new Spirit in you;

I will remove from you your heart of stone

and give you a heart of flesh."

~Ezekiel 36:26~

Support beams for both the house and the garage were placed to prepare for the second floors.

Winds were light and the sun shone brightly--a perfect day for working the Spenard Builders' boom truck and the heavy, precarious load.

The second laminated support beam for the garage was placed to form an unsupported corner for the walkway to the house.

Roger and Duncan, athletes extrodinaire, perform expertly on the balance beam.

Andrea and Daniel stopped by to visit us and to deliver a beautiful house-warming gift for our family to enjoy. Daniel, full of smiles, gave us all a stir when he pulled on the boom truck's air horn chain!

Nicely organized joist brackets clearly prove that young and grown men alike really are capable of keeping a clean house.

This support beam would have made a perfectly sized leaf for our dinner table, but it was needed instead for building the house.

Our neighbors Dale and Kathy stopped by to see what progress had been made.

Working on the house sure beats hanging around the malls.

Andrea, Wendy, Kathy, (and Pepper) all pose with their brightly colored and cheerful summer attire while demonstrating the various techniques for stashing a jacket when not in use.
