Headers

Daddy, Colin, Chase, David, Mark and Paul spend Saturday in the blazin' heat to put up headers for the windows and doors.

Takin' a break after a full morning of work.

Another pic of the headers.

The trusses are being delivered Monday, but work will slow down as Daddy's two week vacation from work ends today.

Houston...We Have Interior Walls!

Mark, Paul and Chase work on nailing studs.

Addison yelled to Uncle Chase to quit working and play with her.

Keep it comin'!

Addison is amazed by the concrete trucks.
