It was a chill out around the house kind of day. The thermostat was set on 74 degrees and I was freezing. That is probably a result of spending most days out in the 90 degree heat. So it was nice to relax today. My parents came over for lunch and it was good to see them.
I took it easy this morning and didn’t head to the farm until about eight. The downside to that was the fact that it was already blazing hot by the time I arrived. I spent some time talking with James, my next door neighbor, and did some cleanup around the job site. The framers came and put up a few more rafters before running out of big nails. They moved on to sheathing after that. I left about two, and they told me that they expected to stay another hour or two. I know that want to be finished by the end of next week.
I didn’t go to the farm until a bit later than usual this morning, so I had time to snap a picture of Luke while he was still sleeping.
I returned fairly early in the afternoon so I was able to hold him and change lots of diapers. He had a couple of fussy spells but was pretty relaxed overall. He was asleep during the Preakness, but we’ll be sure that he is watching the Belmont Stakes, as nobody wants to miss a potential Triple Crown winner.
They put on ceiling joists today and also started on the rafters. We got a little rain this afternoon, like yesterday, but it wasn’t enough to slow things down too much. I saw a couple of deer in the back field this evening.
My dad continued his mowing adventure today and turned his attention to the back field. It took a couple of passes to get it looking reasonable. But it sure makes a huge difference!
The framers were rolling right along today too. They pretty much have all of the interior and exterior walls framed.
