Regrettably, I seldom take the time to read your blog, but your mother sent this to me, today.
I must tell you, as sore and in pain as I was on Sunday night, I hardly felt a thing when I woke up on Monday. I was back to normal aches and pains, which are much more common in mid-middle age.
Though the punch line about insulation is funny, we did get most of the carpentry on the list done; as well as most of the duct work, which was not on the list, and was much more of a job than anticipated.

THANK YOU and Adam SOOoo much for helping. We'll have a much easier time, this weekend.

And thank you for sharing your pain!

Love,
Dad

May I respectfully point out that you were not crawling on hands and knees on rock-laden ancient puppy poo littered with cicada carcasses, and hammering upside down through hardened wood joists?

Daughter of the Year Award? I think so.

I just got my computer and stuff ready in my room so I only got to read these today. I would like to add to your comment above that Dad's "normal aches and pains" were much surpassed by my 24 year old aches and pains. I am still black and blue but will be adding more marks tomorrow.
And, Dad also did not have to shower in a pool of his own filth.
Also, I would like to point out that in the back where I kept saying I smelled manure? That was probably the "ancient puppy poo" which we were sitting directly in.

CaraBee, I must agree (that rhymes :D) with the Daughter of the Year Award comment.
