A few pictures to udpate you on the house progress – keep in mind that Jackson and I are on a 3/12 pitch roof. That means it is pretty flat!
| Jackson and Dad, being silly on the roof of the porch. Don’t get me started about that porch…. |  |

This is the porch, from two different angles, before the roof decking had been applied. The dude in the picture is Oscar, the framer. Oscar speaks very little English – but is a mighty fine framer. |

| Of course, that reference is from the movie Field of Dreams starring Kevin Costner. The movie is a product of the late 1980′s, and the former hippy portrayed by Costner and his former hippy wife of many years build a baseball field in the corn fields of Iowa. Why? A little voice inside of him told him that "If you build it, he will come". The "he" was Shoeless Joe Jackson (an infamous ball player and the Joe in "Say it ain’t so, Joe") – and Joe did show up at the field. Imagine that. |
| If you haven’t seen it, I’d recommend it. Lots of neat baseball nostalgia – and Darth Vader has a pretty big part in the movie. |
| All that to say, we are building it – with no promise of anyone coming. Sorry for the delay. Enjoy the photos. |
