Driving down our alley after work today I found this pile of wood sitting in what will someday be our new garage. That pile does not look like a two story house to me. But what do I know, we’ve never done this before. Maybe that pile is a whole house. Rumor has it they are going to start framing tomorrow. David and Opal leave on a road trip to Palm Springs tomorrow. I leave on a jet plane on Thursday, also to Palm Springs. We’ll all be gone until after the New Year when we all drive back together. I’m sad they are getting to the exciting part while we will be out of town.
