Long Day

Hello all,

This morning I left the house at 5:45 AM to drive to Randolph. At 8:30 I pulled into the drive way and jumped into the flow of the construction process. Kevin had already stood up two of the three walls. My uncle Cliff drove the 4020 John Deere down to aid in the construction process. The most difficult part of the process was lifting the rafters. That was the first time I had ever aided in that effort. I now have a great appreciation for home builders.

My brother-in-law Kirk and I were the odd men out in the activities. We both work with computers and not power tools for our livelihood. Hence, we were the goffers of the crew. We carried rafters and 2x4's from place to place. It was very humbling to see just how little I truly brought to the construction effort besides a physical body to push or lift something into place.

The day ended with me driving home in the dark. I turned the radio off and just drove. I will be sore in the morning for sure.

Good night,
-Andy
