Hammock

The boys make a hammock with a sheet. It's fun to live in a wood house.

Screen door

It's symbolic. We will soon have a mosquito-free zone on the porch.


We think we have a cool granddad.

Living room tiles installed

Completing the living room floor and now for the border.





Remy takes a break to show the boys how to make a Cuban kite.

Remy is here - tiling begins

Our friend, Remy, is with us for the week, tiling the addition. He has some ideas for new designs! In the LR he creates a diagonal brick pattern by cutting the 18x18 tiles in half. Oooh....

Celebration at the beach

Funny, this is exactly what we did last year after roofing, except that was on the Gulf coast, and now we're at the Atlantic. Yeah, we have a tough life in Florida having to choose between two oceans.

Roofing done by noon!

The last panel on the south side was down before noon. Grandma was on hand to help with baby. It takes a family to build a house.

At last, Roofing day

We started on the north side and made good progress with two friends helping. Fortunately the day was cloudy, a big relief over last year which was so brutal in June.



With three people on the roof and two handing up panels and screwing down the final two rows, it went fast!
