Monday morning during a short break from the rain, our lumber was delivered.

 Cliff helped unload the lumber and covered it with a huge black plastic tarp.

  After 2" inches of rain, the sun finally came out this morning and the builders showed up at 9. 

Twenty minutes later, this first section was up.  As you notice in most of these pictures, "Dagwood" is standing around with his hands in his pockets.  I know my mother and father are watching their garage being built and my mother is laughing at "Dagwood."  She used to cut the Blondie and Dagwood comics out and included them in her letters to me when I lived in Florida.

By 11 AM, this was what I saw.

Watching these two carry and lift fourteen tresses, one at a time, up the ladder and place them across the the open frame was amazing.  This builder is a wiry thin 53-year old and moves like the Energizer bunny.

Sun is setting.  Builders are done for the day.  

Cliff's radio room will be in this section and he'll have a small window.
