Darren and Merle put the cam lights up and started wiring them.

Darren made some temp. steps so we can get into the kitchen.

This is how much siding is done so far. We put in a window air conditioner to help cool it off while we are working inside the kitchen.

This is what our backyard looks like right now.

Cant wait to have it back.

Olivia took these pics today.

In the morning we had lots of rain and it all came in. We ended up using all of our towels to soak up and try to block water from coming in the basement, kitchen and dining room.

After lunch, the rain stopped, the sun was coming out and the guys were able to get all the sides up and trusses.

Tomorrow..planning on roof and shingles!

So we had alot to be thankful for today...that we had rain for the fields, the rain stopped so that our house could dry up on the inside, that Uncle Dale was ok..after being shot with the nail gun in the arm/wrist by Darren....and Merle was just sore and not badly hurt after a farm accident yesterday!

Thank you God for the blessings in our life!
