Bob(s) the Builder(s)

I mentioned in an earlier post that people here in Wisconsin take their wood seriously. The big excitement at our house recently is the shed that Rene is building to store his big woodpile in. He has consulted with his brother Paul on the design, made an exciting trip to Menard's to order materials and cleared the site. (There was a little, old, beat up aluminum shed there before.) The materials came on Thursday and he was so excited that he started right in.

Last night, Preston and Emily came over for dinner and stayed so that Preston could help with the building project. Here are some pictures of them hard at work. It's been a pretty amazing male bonding project.

And what did the women do while they were hard at work? Fixed dinner, cleaned up after dinner, watched the Olympics, scrapbooked, read....whatever. Somehow, the building project is just not as exciting to us.
