BUILDING OUR COTTAGE

Week 6

This is the weekend for BOYS!

All three of our boys have the weekend off and are pumped about helping build the cottage.

Above and below: Ryan, Andrew, and Aaron helping their dad.

As they lift the first gable on the garage roof we have an epiphany...

We are building a church, not a cottage! Hmmmmm.... Even Uncle Abe (who lives in Penticton) calls my dad to give an update on the 'church'-building. My father, who has built several churches including Willingdon and Culloden, is secretly pleased.

Supper guests consist of the Harders, the Walls and their son James, and our three sons.

Below, Aaron (20) our engineer-in-training enjoys this new challenge to expand his knowledge .

Andrew (23) scampers around on the roof like his grandpa John used to.

Ryan (26) our eldest lends muscle power with ease.

Eventually, the weekend is over and its time to say goodbye. Andrew and Aaron drive home on bikes while Ryan leaves a day later for Calgary by plane.

A lot has been accomplished. The roof trusses are up and parts of the roof are already sheeted and no one was hurt! Thank you, Lord!
