Cheap Labor

It takes a while to remove, load, and unload 5500 sq ft of wood. It takes a while to cut the nails off of 5500 sq ft of wood.

Thank GOODNESS for family our version of cheap labor. My mom helped us load and unload the wood for the mere price of margaritas and cold mexican beer. And, we put EVERYONE to work over Thanksgiving, we host one meal, most of which we didn't cook or prepare (thanks moms and grandmas!!!) and then couldn't get everyone in gloves and safety glasses fast enough.

I have a feeling Zach and I won't be asked to host another family holiday for a while...

We owe a HUGE THANK YOU to our parents, Nora, Lance and Renell, our siblings, Erin, Lee, Ari and Timothy, Grandma Janna, Grandpa Bob, Grandma Sandy and Joe!!

Thank you all - it wouldn't have gone NEAR as fast or been even close to as much FUN without you!

(I wish had pictures, but sadly, I do not...trust me, they all worked, I promise.)
