Hi all!!
March 29th was my last post!! Wow, time sure flies.
So where I left off was saying that Jeremy was maybe going to come and help Tom with the roof! Their horse Bonnie did not have a baby by that time and Jeremy was able to come help Tom all day on Monday March 30th! Tom was ever so grateful for his help that day! The day was pretty breezy but so nice and sunny! They got a lot done.

Tom ended up starting to work with a friend on a job that is supposed to last 4 weeks. They started on Wed. April 1st.! So that will be wrapping up pretty quick!
Tues. was a violently windy day! So no roof work that day! In fact the black tar sheets they had rolled out all blew off and Tom had to buy more to lay out!

Tom starts the other job and Richard helped Tom finish the roof work at the Clark house here and there throughout that week. Tom went on Friday after work to try finishing up the roof and on Saturday the April 4th Grandma Rodriguez came to watch the kids so Tom could work all day on the roof to finish it up! The electricians were gearing up to start in on the Clark house!

We met with Brad of Silverline Electric on Monday April 6th for an hour or so to talk about every detail of outlets, lights, etc. All's I can say is 'WOW'...so many things to think out!
Brad is an easy going fellow and didn't mind the endless calls from Melissa asking tons of questions! Thanks Brad! I was wanting to take pictures of them doing the work and I think they all thought I was nuts. (They don't know I'm a pictur-a-holic, even though I tried to tell 'em) So I got a few shots in but man, it was like pulling teeth so to speak!! Thanks for letting me try anyways guys! I'm posting your pics on the blog here and I told them they would be the 'boys on the blog'!! Ha!

The week of April 6-10 there was no activity at the Clark house. On Sat April 11th our windows were delivered by Albrecht Glass and Tom and Mel's brother, Will set the windows in a few hours that morning before Melissa had to go to work!

So comes Monday the 13th...electrical work begins! Melissa drives out to the site on Tuesday and Wednesday to see progress and talk to the guys about all the notes I wrote down. Tom Clark and family drove out Tuesday night to take a look at progress!

Friday we took our dear friend Mitzi, (Melissa used to live with Mitz for a couple of years) to see the Clark house. It is neat to see it in the stage it's in! We are excited to see how it will progress!

Well I think that's all for now...I'll post again quickly if I remember something. Got to go get the dishes in the dishwasher and fold some laundry!! Good night!!
