Build Wall, check. Rough in light fixtures, check. Saw off part of 100 year old roof, check. Pick paint color, check. Hang dry wall, almost check. Another long day of work. We both are very happy with our prescription strength ibuprofen, that is what got us through the day. Chris has decided he is learning more about me (my weaknesses) as we are going through this construction. My fear of heights and ladders came out today when I was suppose to hold up some drywall on the ceiling so he could screw it in. After climbing the wobbly ladder my knees began shaking and the shortness of breath started, I tried to just concentrate on the wall ahead, but it didn't work. So, Chris quickly put in two screws and finished hanging the piece without me. I then called Adam to come over tonight to help Chris finish the ceiling. I promised him it would only take an hour, as there were only four pieces to hang, I think I was just about right on the time. Thanks Adam!!! We took a break to take Drew to ice cream. OK it was really the two of us that wanted the ice cream, but Drew enjoyed it too. When we got back home Chris put Drew to bed as he has missed his nightly readings with Drew, I cleaned the kitchen and then back to work we went. Tomorrow is another day and carpet has been moved to Monday, giving us a couple more days. See you tomorrow night!

Ladders: Not a big fan!
