Family Work Day II

Thanksgiving weekend. This year it was in Nebraska, so I thought it would be "fun" on Saturday for the whole family, especially my talented nephews to join in the activities for some construction bonding. Everyone worked really hard as usual. Cheryl, Velma, Shannon and Rhonda had some unexpected late season gardening in damp cold weather to plant a million tulip bulbs while Tom, Liem, and Gary installed the support post in the basement and mixed and poured close to 1000 pounds of concrete for the footing. Owen and Miles helped their dad take down more lath in the kitchen and they also helped Grandma remove nails in the basement work area. Priming, cleaning, and other tasks kept everyone busy as well, and Shannon kept everyone fed with great organic food. Michelle had her hands full keeping Eli out of danger since he is now walking. All in all it was a successful work day and we celebrated that evening with dinner at a Chinese restaurant.
