Our first weekend visitors

Not much has been happening with the house, so there isn't anything to report there, but this weekend we had our first weekend visitors. Our friends Jenifer, Doug, their two boys David and Daniel and one of their friends, John came up for the weekend.

Of course if you come up to visit us, we will put you to work. Rick and I packed a bunch of equipment in the truck, so the first thing was to unload it. We bought some scaffolding, this is Doug and David unloading it.


Here are Daniel and John working.


We also had a very heavy furnace. I'm glad Doug was here to help Rick and I didn't have to.


Here are the three boys, John, Daniel and David.


We didn't have anything real planned for the weekend, but decided to burn some of the construction debris. The boys thought this a great idea, so they were more than happy to help stack up the wood.


But before we could have the fun of the fire, we had to do some work. We had to build up an area for the wood shed (I'll post more about that later). I'm on the tractor and Doug and Rick are smoothing out the dirt I dump out. I think the boys were jealous, they wanted to drive the tractor!


A cup of diesel fuel and a match was all that was needed to get the fire going (of course we had burn permit).


After a while, there were a lot of great coals and we had s'mores. That's Jenifer in the back putting one together. John and Daniel look mesmerized by the fire.
