"Do you not know?

Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God,

the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He will not grow tired or weary,

and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary

and increases the power of the weak."

~Isaiah 40:28-29~

Wynn recently saw this rainbow at the site.

We are so thankful that our yard did not have to be destroyed during the rebuilding process.

On Friday most of the roofing was completed! The walkway still has a gap at the ridge of the roof where rain can fall inside and we are waiting for the final order of shingles to arrive, but once these issues are dealt with the roof will be finished.

Brook, Mr. Carl, and Doug talk while Psalm tries to escape the camera.

It was wonderful to have Duncan and his son, Taylor, working on the same job again yesterday.

Roger and Duncan performed several jobs on Thursday and Friday besides finishing the construction of the loft. One of them was framing in the corner window.

Another was framing the garage opening for the garage door.

Lastly they framed in the fireplace stack which passes through the boys' bedroom

and the living room .

On Saturday morning at 4 a.m. Doug took three of the boys duck hunting; the above photo shows how Wynn laid out his clothes on Friday night in joyful anticipation of the exciting outing.
