All clear of the tornados (Craig)

Hopefully you weren't checking weather.com today, because if you did, you would have seen that there were (and still are) tornado watches in our neck of the woods. Well, it's 6pm, we're all showered, and we're all still alive. Right at the end of the work day, the rains rolled into D'aiberville and drenched the work site. It was fun to run around in the pounding rain and through the muddy, puddled ground while picking the power tools off of the soggy work tables. The timing couldn't have been better since we had just finished 99.9% of the roof, leaving only three shingles to be laid on the roof's peak. Otherwise, we spent all morning laying 1,837,892 shingles on both sides of the roof. Not sure what the girls were doing with the interior all day (see their blogs tonight), but we are damn happy to finish the roof. When the rains came down, we were safe and dry inside the house that is starting to look a lot like a real house. I'll post video as soon as I get a chance. The progress we've made this week is crazy, and so very fulfilling. Ms. Lisa has been with us each day watching her house mature, and getting to observe how excited she is to own her very first house is worth all the sweat and beers this week has produced.

Here are a few thoughts that the group will always remember, and if they don't make sense, come ask us in the hallways next week and we'll explain:

- Pigio is the hottest drink in the south. Ask for one next time you're at Hollywood Park.
- The Ship Wreck Suite is SuuuuWeet!!!!
- Colleen's lucky number is 666.
- Beah Ravige, our home away from home.
- Rosanne is the first person to learn how to hammer with her inner thighs.
- Our group has single handedly supported the following items: Heineken Light, Mole Skin, and Suave Handy Wipes.
- The band at our next office party will be Ro Sham Bo.
- "Open Says a Me" lost Tricia $5.
- Hepatitis A shots are only available in strange neighborhoods on the outskirts of town.
- Elvis loves the Edgewater Inn.
- Dave is now addicted to CiCi's cinnamon buns and isn't going to drink tonight...maybe.
- Girls puff.
- Rental car cleaning deposits are an ominous investment.
- Aged corndogs on a stick are a local delicatassen.

That's it for now. We're staying-in tonight to play games and eat pizza while the president kisses babies and tornado warnings expire outside the Edgewater Inn. I hope you all are having a great day wherever you are, and we'll see you in a few days.
