Construction resumes, day two

We woke up on Sunday morning to raindrops on the canvas pop-outs. Gerald muttered a few choice words, but the rain didn't last.











I was able to take my morning hike without even getting wet. I had several opportunities to play with the different settings on my new camera. It has an awesome telephoto feature, which let me zoom in tight on one of the ranch's smaller residents.









By the time I returned around 7, Gerald and Joe were up and dressed. After breakfast, it didn't take them long to work out a system. They worked well together and swore they were getting more done with the just two of them than they did with all that help.









By afternoon, they were able to walk on a sub-floor over what will be the master bedroom. It was another hot day, and they learned it was helpful to soak a bandanna using water from the cooler and put it under their hats. This also protected their necks from sunburn.

You can see Joe's new truck in the background.








Even working until mid-afternoon on Sunday, there was still quite a bit of work left to do. But that would have to wait until next weekend as Gerald couldn't get any more help before Saturday. The garage door is to be delivered and installed on Friday morning, so we're hopeful that we'll have a secure storage place by next Saturday night.
