Batter boards

We spent Monday putting up batter boards and strings for the foundation walls and footers.   We ran out of string right at the end, so we actually have two lines still needing to be run, but the nails are there for them, so it won't take but a minute to do that when we go back next.  Something about all those nice, perfectly square, crisp exact lines really speaks to my soul....lol.  David thinks I'm nuts.  But hey - an exacting personality has lots of times where it is not so welcome....at least this is an opportunity for me to justifiably be as exacting and perfectionist as I desire.  ;-)

The weather is really starting to warm up.  Life in Missouri really is like living in a green house....truly amazing to see how nature, all on its own, runs things just like they do at a greenhouse in Washington. 

Time for me to do some serious menu planning.  With two more people to feed, having "ugh...let's just have carrots and toast."  for lunch isn't going to cut it, I'm guessing, when feeding three hungry guys that have been framing all morning. 

Sounds like

It's time to make lots of casseroles. LOL And slow cooker things that will feed a gob of people (or three hungry males).

Indeed. :-) And if you've got any recipes for ones that are gluten, corn and dairy free, I'd love to have them!
