Son, here is how you frame a gabled wall.

In 26 days, Jeff and I leave for Roatan. Kids go to my in-laws, cousin comes to house sit and watch the dog, and this husband and wife duo go to a third world country to build two homes for some amazing folks. Today, we payed up our final dollars in the $4000 bill to go serve others for a week (thanks again to all those that donated to our cause!), had lunch, and then did a mock-up framing exercise. R wanted little to nothing to do with us and preferred to rest on his laurels indoors with my iPad.

Many nails were harmed in the making of this blog post.
