On Friday after work, we drove to Home Depot in Kenai to buy some more studs for the 2nd floor walls. We have found that its worth it for the quality and price on many things.

On Sunday, Eli and Jane made a big dump run. We were proud that 3/4 of our waste was recycled. Then., we drove our empty truck 15 miles out East End Rd. to pick up a sliding glass patio door that Jane had purhased for the bedroom.

On Sunday, Eli's brother Zak played at a disc golf tournament in Kincaid Park in Anchorage. We drove up and picked him up after we did a couple of errands (because that is what Anchorage is for :) ). We walked around Kincaid park a little bit, got lost and devoured by bugs. Then we picked up Eli's mom and the four of us drove down (after dinner of course).

That got us back to the homestead at about 2AM. Of course, we stopped along the way and took in the sights too though.

On Monday neither Jane nor Eli had to work so, with Zak's help, some advances were made on the house.

We put up the stairs that Lisa Fellows gave us so entry into and out of the house can now be done without trapeze training. Plywood sheathing was also installed flush with that of the first floor to provide something to tie in the 2nd floor walls to. Its amazing how much safer it feels up there with just a little plywood holding you in.
