Nearly Summer

Some client photos -






People using my son's red wagon to get ready for the party on Memorial Day.


Hauling a keg, really?


We had some mean grain punch, and warned kids away with this sign.  But then my elderly neighbor started talking trash and politics after one drink so we warned off the elderly as well.


I had no idea how awesome a hammock can be.  Whittle away hour after hour.



Damn goose family.



Party time.  Like 15 kids running around somewhere lord of the flies like.



Note to self.  9th graders don't wash cars that good.

Such a simple piece of paper to mark the completion of so much hard work.


4 closings in 3 weeks, and here are important pieces of gov't issued papers that are part of that all important, often illusive bank phrase - Clear To Close




My in-house architect, project manager navigated the inspections the other day, and I personally picked them up at the various hole in the wall building departments.
