It has been a very busy week.  We started out on Monday morning with 2 crews working on 2 different houses.  Larry took one group over to the Hardee Street house, and Jeff Rothwell, took the other group to Marion Street.   The Hardee Street group had to start putting up outside walls and by Thursday morning we had all four walls up and started the sheating on them.  As you can see I have been nailing.  Check out my pink tool belt.  The other group needed to start building the inside walls for Marion Street and also start the siding on the outside.  By Friday most of what we needed to accomplish was done.
Yesterday we took a trip to the Sarasota area to see the Lippizzan horses in their winter training area.  The hour and a half session was great. They are beautiful creatures.  Then we went to lunch at a place called The Alpine Steak House which was featured on, Dives, Diners and Drive Inns from the Food Channel.  We had the famous turducken for lunch and it was great. Linda Matheny has the book featuring these restaurants and is trying to hit as many as they can.
We are not working on Monday as it is Presidents Day so we are taking the Holiday.
We will finish up here in Dade City on Friday and move up to St. Marys Georgia on Saturday to visit with 3 other first cousins of mine who have not been together in YEARS.  Our mothers were sisters and as young children our grandmother called us her Four Stars.  It should be a fun time.
Until later,
