Day One.... Saturday

Well an exciting beginning to the start of our big week. I got started about 6:30am preparing to tear off the roof. Michael showed up about 7:30 to my surprise and I could not have been more pleased. We got the tear off done by 11:30am thanks to Mom, Dad, Mike, Gardner, Maranda, Jenna, John, Wade, Wells, and Myself. We got a little we about 3/4 of the way through. The weatherman has said rain but we don't have any other options. We took an early lunch and immediately after started putting in the rim joist and finishing the plywood subfloor. It seemed like every hour it would rain a little, but we kept pushing on. I still find it hard to believe no one got hurt. Anyway, with about one small piece of plywood to go the good Lord decided to bless this parched country with a downpour. You can't complain for the rain and the sound of drops in about 50 randomly placed pans, pots, and buckets makes quite soothing music as we lay hunkered down in this blessing of a house. The entire inside is soaked and we have plastic covering anything of value. There are only three places to be right now...under the two dry places in the house or the shower.
