The Villwock Land: July 2006

on july 31st, 2006 we saw this!!!!!

well, want to come upstairs????

these. of course are the temporary stairs---

hey, let's go on up, we did

just a few more stairs, almost there

looking up from the foyer to the "plant shelf"--it's kinda big---humm what will we put there? wonder if we can get a small doorway or something????

same thing except on the 1/2 story

so went back outside for these last 2 shots--what do you think????

i am getting faster at doing this now, course have sami girl to thank for all the coaching!!! thanks sami mom

july 28th, 2006---what's new and what happened

well, the crane did it's bidness and is off down the road...............at 15 mph

yep, this is how it helped out Jim, John & Matt

how about that Munn Lumber came too....

there's Matt amongst the forests of 2 x 4's

i took these with the flash in the basement

Van went up in the rafters himself--not me, i'll wait for the stairs----but look at the view

hummmm....

sami took this looking out the back

these are the step figures:

hey i found a few more good shots from yesterday july 27th--man was it hot!!!!!

i think i accidently deleted this one when i was posting these yesterday---or you just might have to look at it again---

these pictures are for you Connie!!!!

here's to you Connie--whatcha think?? Van took this one and i missed it yesterday---

so now we see him workin'

i can only imagine what i'll see today when we go out to the land---teri

july 27th, 2006 --So here we go!!!!

so the day started: pre crane arrival

"IT HAS ARRIVED"......

Munn Lumber had a delivery too---

Matt's getting ready for the placement of the trusses on the garage while Jim is guiding the lift wire to start the lift

the 650 lb a piece trussin' has begun (Ralph has come to watch)

Jim's checking to make sure all is level

wonder what's under there??? it's the fireplace--yep the crane sat it there

pretty sky, hey???

dad looks kinda sweaty--if you zoom in on all the pictures of Jim, John, & Matt you'll see they are too--i did bring them lemonade---

remember how the front yard looked yesterday
these guys really move!!!!

know there were a lot of pictures today, but a lot happened--------

you have to guess how many nails hold those trusses together.....

july 26th, 2006 these guys are GREAT!!!!

well, remember i told you that a deck was going to be built today---yep, it happened, check it out!!!!! the plates are stainless steel and were made by raybo peterson's (a guy that dad ran around with in high school)

say it's TRUSSIN' time!!!! the garage is ready to go

Jim, John, Matt & Van will be putting these trusses together in the am with the help of a crane-guess the works going to being at 8:30am----i did remind dad to take the camera!!!!
i guess they weigh 650 lbs each---oh my....Barney's guys will deliver the fireplace tomorrow sometime when the crane is there cuz it's real heavy too.....
