Gordon doesn't
want to tell me
that he accidentally
glued his hand to

happier working
with the PVC
piping...you can
tell by the big smile		 1-plumbing-92

little tough for
a guy to get a
little privacy in
a bathroom
without walls		 1-plumbing-95
And Look!
Running Water!
We still need the
generator going
to run the pump,
but it works!

Mama Bear Elisa
overcomes her fear
of heights and hops
up on the scaffolds
to work on staining!

And look at this!
We've now got
her up on 2 levels
of scaffolds!  And
she's smiling!		 2-staining-302

Dad prepares lunch
on our fancy new

for eight of us...		 4-lunch-88
Enjoying the lunch,
and the day - good
friends and good
weather....

Funny, but our buffet
table looks suspiciously
like my truck...

3-windows-brian275 4-elisa-kissing-96 Now, Elisa might tell you that we were at the Shedd Aquarium and there was a fish on the other side of the glass making kissy faces at her, but we all know the true story that she just loves herself SO much that she can't help but give herself a big fat kiss on the lips at every chance she gets...
Brian installs the
window bucks in the
big tall windows
 		 Ooh, I can almost hear her swearing at me right now...
Oh well, whatever the story, it's a funny picture nonetheless.
