Log cabin update Friday

Old Glory flies

 Well we got the OSB up today on the roof and of coarse the wind meet us when we started but we pushed on, now as soon as we get the ridge beam up we can do the lower roof. Our new goal was dictated to us today also " You will have this cabin closed in for TURKEY DAY " Yes Mom it shall be done.

     A little prospective of progress so far, one huge thing to get going is all of the berming that has to be done, most of the block wall will disappear soon.

Log cabin Roof update for Thursday

      Aright, due to some changes that we made with respect to the main ridge beam we were able to start the roof over the dormer section, OUTSTANDING. We upgraded from 2X8 to 11-7/8 BCI, this material is so much lighter and actually stronger to work with.

      A view from the second floor, we still have the pocket to make for the ridge beam, that will get done when our crane shows up, if it shows up.

     The biggest problem today was with the damn wind, I would have rather been rained on vs. the wind but after not being able to get anything done for 2 days we were determined to get the BCI's in. Tomorrow we are going to sheet the roof and hopefully we will not have any wind, handling 4X8 sheets is not something I want to do in windy conditions. More tomorrow.

Obama before the Pearly Gates.....

A funny that was sent to me in an e-mail

Obama before the Pearly Gates.....

Obama dies and finds himself before the Pearly Gates.

He is very excited; all his life he's had a secret wish & longed to meet the Prophet Mohammed.

Having arrived at the Gates of Heaven, Barack meets a man with a beard.

'Are you Mohammed?' he asks.

'No, my son, I am Peter. Mohammed is higher up.' Peter then points to a ladder that rises into the clouds.

Delighted that Mohammed should be higher than Peter; Obama climbs the ladder in great strides,

Climbs through the clouds coming to a room where he meets another bearded man.

He asks again, 'Are you Mohammed?

'No, I am Moses. Mohammed is higher still.'

Exhausted, but with a heart full of joy he climbs the ladder yet again,

He discovers an even larger room where he meets another man with a beard.

Full of hope, he asks again, 'Are you Mohammed?

'No, I am Jesus... You will find Mohammed higher up.'

Mohammed higher than Jesus! Man! Obama can hardly contain his delight and climbs and climbs, ever higher. Once again, he reaches a larger room where he meets a man with a beard and repeats his question: Are you Mohammed?...' he gasps as he is, by now, totally out of breath from all his climbing.

'No, my son....I am Almighty God. But you look exhausted. Would you like a cup of coffee..?'

'Yes! Please, my Lord'

God looks behind him, claps his hands and yells out: 'Hey Mohammed-- two coffees!'

Keep your trust in God; your government has failed you miserably.
