Hello Family,
Oops, the photos got inserted before the narrative. So scroll down and read first, then come back and look at the pictures (I'm learning).

There is now a pantry cupboard in the cellar entrance at the hall  

Brad saved the drywall for Brandon because he said Brandon liked doing it so much 

This is what the pantry cupboard looks like from the inside

Dad and Brad sanded down the concrete counter (I would like someone 

to add some photos of that if you have them). The a base coat of topping 

was applied. 

                                    Brad took out the sink for us, and furnished a new faucet.

Austin lined this (odd shaped) cupboard with

drywall.

Brandon insulated and drywalled the cellar.

Rumor has it that Mom dug the power pole out all by herself (It did help that

there had been lost of rain and the ground was soft). Two strong men did have to 

come help lift it out of the hole. 

Chad drove up Monday afternoon and hauled the little trailer to Mesa.

I was amazed that he could get all the way home, with no problems, with the tires that were on it. 

It will be fixed up and put in the Garden Spot Trailer Park. I think

Gwa would like that. 

I wanted to post some pictures I took of the work we got done at the cabin.  As I mentioned to some of you, dad and I are so grateful for all your help!

Remember how when you were all small you would "help"me or dad with a project or job? And what that really meant was that we were trying to get the job done while trying to teach you how to do it, at the same time, which usually calculated into more work than if you weren't "helping".

Well, you have grown into such good, confident, capable workers that now when you help, it's a BIG help. I am proud of the quality of work you are all able to do, independently.

We had a list of 18 things we wanted done before the cabin sold. Usually when we make a list we have a work day and get only a few item done. On the Labor day trip we were able to get 8 of the 18 done! I think that's amazing. We also sold the paddle boat, which was not on our list.

So, since all were not there to see the progress, I'll post some pics for you to see (and those who were there can see the progress again, I do love looking again!) In 2 pictures you will see nothing there, which is a good thing -one is the trailer NOT there, the other is the power pole NOT there, two good jobs done.

Thanks again to all who helped it all happen.

(I love all you guys, I'm glad you guys are my kids)
