Psalm 9:9-10

The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.

Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Having Mr. Carl assign him the job of nailing in the earthquake strips on the walkway proved to be a big encouragement for Wynn.

Wynn and Psalm after the job is completed. The rip stick next to them was a very special gift from Christopher, their new friend. Unbeknownst to me Wynn was riding it on the 2nd level of the garage before any of the walls were up.

Sharing a good laugh with Duncan and Clark

At work in the garage.

Roger prepares to build the stairs.

Next, the southern wall goes up - as seen from outside.

Now - an inside perspective.

Everyone lends a hand or two.

The last wall to be elevated so far is the northern wall on the second story of the garage.

The upper story of the garage.

Until the windows arrive, the fourth wall will remain horizontal.
