Paul and I had the last part of the day to drop the purlings on half of the roof. We are starting talk about how fun this is going to be once completed.

Ed it's going to be open for now like a park shelter. I was thinking of extending the roof next year and in closing that area for a warm space to work during cold the  weather months here in iowa. Hey I drop my drill the other day and broke it almost in two parts. Any subjection guys of best quality replacement?
Annette's allergic to dogs so we can't have them around. The dander of animals makes her wind pipe close and she breaks out whenever she is contact with it.  I have never seen anyone be so reactive. I cleaned a dear and washed my hand and touched her face and she broke out. So we have to be careful about contact especially when I tan hides.
Ed you really are living the dream it sounds like the two of you compliment each other well. What most impressed me on my visit over there was the research you do into your bows. I was blown away by your bead work and perfection and creativity in everything you do. I really learned a lot about pouring all of my heart into my projects from you. You seem to be in the moment on every detail. Can't wait to see the changes you have made to your place.
