Weekend seven

We started our day today like every other: wake up, make sandwiches/do chores, get dressed, pile in the van to work on the house. Only this time, when we got there the kids didn't get out of the van. They leaned the back rest down and all three of them cuddled up on the back seat and continued sleeping.

Mom and Dad and I worked on finishing up that back wall. All we had to do was cut and put in the studs under the windows for the girls rooms. We got that finished and then stood up the lighter part of that wall. Once we had that up and braced we woke the kids to help us stand up the rest of that wall. That was one heavy wall, but we got it in all by ourselves.

We then went to work making our remaining wall for the main part of the house. Mom and the girls worked on getting the studs nailed to the header and bottom plate.

Tanner even helped by putting the studs where they went. He even pushed them all the way across the floor to do it. He is such a good little worker. I worked on framing the last window (yea!!! *jumps for joy*), while Dad worked on building one of the last two short walls for the storage room.

We finished that main wall and got it up and braced.

Then we tried to decide if we wanted to work more, or quit for the day. It was hot and we were tired, but we were so close to being done. So we decided to go for it and try.

Almost immediately we all got really tired. We got one of those two walls up and then decided to call it a day.
