Good job to you & your wife.
That sounds like a ton of work, but it sure looks like it came out nice!
I think a blog post with some of your process pictures would be pretty cool.
Working 28 on / 28 off in Bolivia sounds like a story in itself.

Many thanks, y’all for the warm welcome. Have been following y’all for several months and decided that I really wanted to be a part of it. Never have I seen a more supportive and friendly group. Course, there are a few sourpusses, but that’s what makes it interesting. Going to Louisiana today for a family reunion. Will post more pics of the house project (inside and out) when I get back next week.

Happy Easter

That house looks good! And that wife sounds like a keeper. And, not for nothing, I’d be careful around her it sounds like she could do just fine all by herself!

Looking forward to seeing your pictures!
