That's right - our house got wrapped. I think we should apply for some arts funding. If that guy can get millions for wrapping buildings and sea coast, we should get some for wrapping our house.

These pix are from May 26, 2008 - Memorial Day.

The house as we saw it:



Inside, with nephews Joe and Paul. The house looks so spacious!



Interior lumber, plus a hole into the basement.



Aaaah - so that's why there was a hole in the floor - no support here! Note the Oriented Strand Board (OSB) supports.



Whew! They didn't cover up the windows!



We're going to have a very light, bright living room/dining room/kitchen



Bettie and her brother Dan check it out



Bettie and I had covered the front door with plastic, to ward off rain that might want to enter the house. So people had to use the "other" front door. This is Bettie's sister Karen and her husband Ron.



Visual effects: why the front door was unusable.



Silliness: Steve and nephews Paul and Raleigh take the house out for a ride.



Severe silliness: nephews Paul, Raleigh, Mark, and Ross jump on the bed in the master bedroom.



The back of the wrapped house. In the foreground are the rafters for the carport.



Silliness. Not sure what inspired this - if you could call it inspired.



This was imprinted on one of the pieces of plywood, and it reminded me of the posters that get splashed all over the plywood around construction sites. This one looks like it's listing all 72 bands that will be playing a concert.



The niftycool camera caught this bumblebee playing around some lumber stacked outside.



And that's it for Memorial Day, 2008.
