John gets help from Dad

John and Sara are moving forward with a construction project that will convert their screened in porch to a four season room. It will really be a wonderful addition to their home. There will be a cozy fireplace and comfy chairs. I can't wait to see it finished and enjoy morning coffee in their new room! Wally and I spent a few days with John and Sara - and the men hammered nails while the ladies baked or too long walks....




The size of the room was extended about 18 inches.














The sheeting was on by the end of Saturday. The next step will be installing the windows.












Coffee, apples and gjetost!! (Gjetost is a soft caramel colored cheese from Norway made from goat's milk.)












The weather was so grand all 3 days that we had most of our meals and breaks outside.

It's wonderful to see your boys building onto their own homes, just like my brothers can do, it's so wonderful that their Dad taught them to do construction, they will never forget it! I hope all goes well with their project! It's looking great!
