Well thanks to my buddy Jack, who gave up his golf date and then came in on his birthday, we got the front wall ready for the trusses. They came today to confirm the measurements and we may have trusses by the end of the week. Once we get them I will be looking for help to paint them before we install them. Saturday nights Patriots dinner was a great money maker for the post, we needed that.  Friday nights sheriff was Koni and her pick was card #8 and it was the King of Diamonds. This weeks reward will be $3,400.00.  Mambo Wally did a great job on the music for Sept. birthdays.

Due to some personal issues I'm running a little late.

 Jack and I got quite a lot done in the last couple of days We drilled all the holes in the existing footings in order to put up the new walls and the headers to hold up the trusses that support the roof . We have several of the new posts cut to length and the hardware installed. Cal did our first inspection and we put in the anchor bolts that support the header post.  Tomorrow we will start the first shear wall.

 I really don't understand why it has been so slow, maybe school starting has something to do with it. We still have a great turn out for lunch and Wham-Bam Bingo on Thursday. Friday's Queen of Hearts Sheriff again was Mary & Christopher . Their pick revealed the 9 of Clubs, no money honey, reward for this week $3.300.00. We had live music both Friday & Saturday night.

  We had a lot of fun this week with Wham Bam Bingo on Thursday and the Queen of Hearts on Friday. Again the Queen eluded the Sheriff so the reward went up to $3,100.00.
