Uncle Ben & Drywall

Since Uncle Ben had pretty much nothing to do and nothing was really going on in his life at the moment, he decided to come for a short visit and help us out with some dry wall. Which was really nice considering he had to sleep on the couch
in our 2 bedroom house and share one bathroom with this family of 5.
The girls really didn't seem to enjoy having him here.
But we put him to work helping put up drywall in our new house.I sure hope he knows how to use that thing.
The girls taking a break and having a chat with Uncle Ben.
The funny thing is that it was almost totally dark in the middle of this room. My flash was the only light, but the girls were just sitting there in the dark drinking their drinks.
These are their little observation chairs. They like to pull their chairs up and watch "Mr. John" our contractor while he's working. I think..... he likes it. He seems to get a kick out of having an audience.
The whole time they are saying "Mr. John, what are you doing? Mr. John what's that?" Or laughing at him as the tape and mud are falling off the wall behind him.
EJ earlier in the day working up on the scaffolding. Uncle Ben and EJ had the girls and our neigbor's kids up on the scaffolding earlier and we were giving them a ride around the living room. I never have my camera at the right times.
The girls upstairs.
Thanks for the Help Uncle Ben and for being away from your family during a very crazy time!

So glad he was able to come up! Wish we could! Don't think we could all fit on your couch though. :) Love seeing the pics of your house progressing!
