Today was cool in the morning - just 5 when the Dunkley's hit the road for Edmonton. We will miss having them, not only for their great help, but all the laughing and fun. Ross came at 7 and Ken and Jessie at 8. It was a busy day, and a very nice one too! Not too hot, no rain.

The guys finished putting the floor joists and blocking in place, then put the plywood tongue and groove floors on top. Then they moved the wall sections up to the top, but didn't put them up, clever guys, as they need the floor space to maneuver trusses which will be placed tomorrow. Some trusses were moved over near the garage for their erection tomorrow.

Mid-day we had some visitors for lunch - Myrle and Vern Sundmark and Keith Peterson ventured up from Barriere for a short visit. Cath took them on a quick tour of the house and then we enjoyed a lunch break with them and Sabin, their little poodle. Banjo was very excited to have company. We were so excited, in fact, that we forgot to take their picture!
Once the hired help left, there was clean up to do and after supper Len put up another beam in the main house while Cath made banana loaf out of the dying bananas on hand. A productive day all around. Even got to talk on Skype with Michael up in Fort McMurray. Tomorrow the trusses go up and that should be video-worthy. See you then!
