Thanks to Lindsay.  She has been working her ass off, sanding and sanding and sanding, while Mitch runs around and does his ‘Mitch Jobs.’  Please note the dust and lack of proper sanding equipment.  Anybody else want to come down and work for free?  Honestly, a huge improvement — thanks for the initiative and smile.

yeah, we went swimming too.  Pretty much the same spot where you were.

We are honored to have so many generations willing to help us this year.

Who knows what is actually going on, but it appears that everyone is more than willing to follow the one guy who remembered to bring the drawings.

With a bit more sense, Maxine watches the parade from the shade.

Okay, so things are getting exciting again in Bluff and nobodies knows — as usual, blame it on Mitch.

The Colorado Crew presented themselves nicely over the past weekend, showing Maxine and Maurice 3 spectacular schematic designs.  After dinner and conversation concerning the presented models, our clients threw the students outside to make their choice.  Without the students, Maxine admitted true shock and bewilderment — it must be impossible to choose, each model a raft of basswood and cardboard glued together with amazing amounts of soul and love.

So we showed some models and stuffed our faces and had fun.  Maxine had the hard decision, but she made it.

Although in the minority, Mitch still doesn’t like the roofs.  But that’s cool.Stay tuned.  With apologies, the next real postings will be delivered by the students themselves, as it should be — it is their passion and hard work that makes such wonderful ideas happen.Thanks to Rick and Rob for the direction that made this weekend happen with such style.  Thanks again to Rick for supplying the images.
