The guest house grows

We left off last time with the pilings in the ground and the first joists being attached. Now the floor is nailed down and then walls can happen.

Like this. They make it look so simple, don't they? Maybe it is, after you've built 3 or 4 of them. And the whole reason for this one is so you and I will be comfortable when we go for a visit.

Greg and his dad work hard together, getting the house closer to being done. Here they're bolting the pieces of wood together. Imagine doing all of this with non-power tools. Speaking of which, where do you suppose those extension cords go? Hmmm.

So now we're at the roof stage. I'll be back with more tomorrow.

Until then, I leave you with this:

The Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all...

One is Evil. It is anger, fear, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
