Whew!

Mike, Fred, Buck and Mike G.

It was an intense 4 days; these guys just don't know when to quit! The twists and turns of this old house, along with the wishes of the owner (especially the female part of the two) made a lot of the work really more of a challenge than anyone would ever have anticipated. But this bunch never flinched. Buck never stopped figuring and thinking when presented with impossible conflicts; Fred kept cutting weird pieces and making them fit; Mike G. gave up some touring to keep working; Bill kept working with the "foreign" crew, making friends while doing whatever he was asked; and Mike worked every step of the way plus before and after. We came away with most of the electrical finished, FRAMING finished in closets, small bath and shower in our half, large bathroom (Buck's ONLY 4-day bathroom!) and kitchen. Still always more to go, but since I am now in a class in Baton Rouge for 2 weeks, neither you nor I will know what is going on. Mike and Bill plan to keep any progress (or lack thereof, he says) to themselves. So don't expect an update for a couple of weeks.
