Super Saturday






We have been working on the rock on our house for almost two months now. Shane, Jake's cousin, has been over quite a bit to help us. Aside from Jake's dad, who has been over here helping us almost every day for the past year and a half, Shane's probably been over here working more than anyone. He and Jake are hunting buddies and they, along with my dad and cousin Bill, drew a Wyoming elk tag this year. Hunting season is fast approaching and we really wanted to have the rock done on the house before it started. So Shane and his sweet wife Geana, decided to call all the fam and see if they could all come on Saturday, August 16, to help us do rock and finish up a few more odds and ends around here that need to be finished by winter. So, bless their hearts, about 30 of them came and they all brought breakfast finger foods to share, and they got a ton of the rock done, there were people on the roof putting on the ridge vent and peak shingles, it was amazing how much everyone was able to get done! It's true what they say, "the more hands the lighter the work!" Thank you all so much! We really appreciate your help!
