"How do you eat an elephant?"
"One bite at a time."
We have a huge "elephant" here. We've lived in our house now for 4 years, and the outside has not been finished. It seemed to be such a huge undertaking that Roy wasn't sure he was up to it anymore. This Spring brought new resolve to get the job done.... and, lo and behold, he even asked for help. (A huge feat, if you know Roy.)
Last weekend four of the kids and their families came to the rescue. Val, Faren, Seth, and Chad worked part of Friday and all day Saturday on roofs, ladders, and planks. Ron and Conner came over to lend a hand, the girls made food, and the kids were good runners. Mother Nature even cooperated and a lot was accomplished.
They got all of the fascia and soffit done on the new part of the house.
They tore all the Tyveck off and removed old siding and black celotex from the old part. Even the sun setting didn't slow them down.
The "elephant" doesn't seem quite so big now. Thanks guys!

Invite someone over for dinner.
I'll bet they even had a little fun.
Good one Millie.
Very impressive for them to keep working into the night. And it is night when it gets dark now. It's looking really good Myrna.
oh...and that one boy has a nice butt. It was a fun weekend. I think everyone can say that...well maybe not dad (wink).
