DAY TWO COMPLETE, WE DID IT!

Sorry for the late update, but we just got home from our night on the town dinner. We went to downtown Copperhill and had a great meal and a lot of fun.

Today was an incredibly productive day. We awoke to rain, but it stopped right before we headed out to the job site. Unfortunately it was hotter and more humid than yesterday. We once again headed out an hour early to try and beat the sun and heat.

Our goal today was to get all the walls built and WE DID IT! We are so happy and proud! The kids worked really hard, even in the brutal sun and heat. Inside we finished laying the floor in the hallway and we also got about 2/3 of the stone work done around the wood burning stove area.

We worked so hard and finished what we had set out to do, so we stopped by the "Blue Hole" on the way home and went for a swim. It was great to just cool off and relax a bit. The kids certainly earned it over the past 2 days.

We had to hurry after swimming to get cleaned up and headed right back out for dinner. After dinner, the kids took a walk to Georgia. They are having a lot of fun crossing state lines all the time. It is quite interesting here and so far we have been in Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia and have been able to walk every time we cross state lines. Tomorrow is going to be another hard work day. We plan on getting the sheeting on the walls, the roof built and covered in tin, and the windows in so the rooms will be completely enclosed for the winter. We know we will have to push ourselves and work hard, but we are confident we can get it done, and the kids really want to finish this. They have all worked really hard and we are so very proud of them!
