Day 133: Jan. 15, 2008

Gary and Jimmy cut rafters today. They actually put a couple up, but it was too dark for a picture by the time I left work.

Bud and I stopped by at lunch and talked with them about the deck again. We're definitely going with the extension. Since we thought it was going to be there all along, it's sort of like we're spending more money and gaining nothing. But we definitely would have been disappointed not to have it, so that's worth something.

After starting to sift through the things in his mom's basement Monday, Bud took a much-needed rest day. He's been working nonstop lately.

The ceiling fan for the great room arrived. There's a puncture in the box, but if anything inside was harmed, it isn't obvious. I guess we'll find out when we finally have a great room to install it in.

Lance's second shunt showed possible signs of infection, so it was removed. It'll be at least a week before they try again, Laura said.
