Unloading the Trailer

Ben's brothers came over to help unload the trailer and they were a big help. 



Most of the boxes we unloaded into the house but the beds for the bunkie we brought down in the trailer.




Eric, Alex and Ben carry in part of the bunk bed.





I showed Alec how to use my camera and so he took this shot of his brother Ben.




Alex holds the bed-rail while Ben attaches it to the foot-board Alex always has a smile and is very easy going.



OK, now I have the boys working, Alex taking my pictures not much left for me to do than sit and watch. This is the life. Now if it was just this easy to get the house finished. Ben and I did get 3 more walls up yesterday and today we will try for another three.



Time for a break and there is nothing better on a hot day than a cold smoothie, yummy!

The bunkie now has a queen size bed and a bunk bed. Who will be first to use them?

Thanks for stopping by.

  3. Hi Pat;

    Not sure about using the bunkie for us. I hope we are in the house by the end of September or sooner. We are making good progress thanks to everyone's contribution. Now that Ben is back on the job the walls are going up faster. Can't wait for that first gigantic snowfall.

    Hi Sherri;

    Loved your blog pictures. Yes the pants have been replaced but the new ones get just as dirty.

    Chat soon
