Jamison's facebook status this afternoon was "Insulating Sucks!"
I'm not gonna lie. He is correct.
It is crazy hot outside. Miserable. And we spent the afternoon cutting itchy, scratchy insulation and stuffing it in between studs at the house. It was not any fun.
This is the pile of insulation that needs to be installed.
This is my wise and ever-helpful son.
He may have correctly posted that this job stunk, but he NEVER complained while on the job.
Once again, I am not gonna lie.
For the first time while working on the house, I did complain.
I decided that in hell everyone must be insulating because it was about the most miserable job I have had in a loooong time.
Jay took it "like a man."
I am humbled by his example.
The older girls worked as well.
And Joshua.
Little man is always trying to find a way to help.
While we used the icky, scratchy stuff - Chad ran the spray foam gun.
Spray foam may not be itchy, but you need a respirator to spray it.
He also had to climb into small spaces and reach into tiny crevices.
His sweaty shirt bears witness to the heat.
I was npt loving my job, but I was certainly not jealous of his.
We also had our first construction volunteer wander onto the job site!
Dennis braved the heat and surprised us with a few much appreciated volunteer hours this afternoon.
Thank you, Dennis!
Even on the hottest and most miserable of days there is always some fun on our job site.
Joshua proved his skills with the scissor lift, by taking himself on many rides up and down, just for fun! (He also ran the lift for Daddy when needed. He is truly amazing with construction equipment.)
The oldest three could not let Gubs have all the fun!
They joined him in the lift for a ride or two.
They joined him in the lift for a ride or two.
We were VERY thankful for the well this weekend!
Grandma Donna provided the best part of the day, supper!
We have been eating on the run almost all the time lately, so Grandma cooked food is THE BEST. In fact the kids talked her into delivering supper tomorrow night as well. Because like it or not, The Dietrich Construction crew will be back on the job tomorrow evening. We are trying our hardest to have everything in place so sheetrock can begin on Thursday as scheduled, so it will be a FULL week of work in the day and construction in the evenings.
I am thankful tonight for meals delivered, hard-working kids, helpful friends,a safe & fun placde for Brenna this afternoon, fresh fruit in my fridge, showers, and an air conditioned camper.
