Update on The Book Shack

It feels like we work and work and never get anywhere until I look at some pictures...then I realize we truly are getting something done. It is just getting so hard to work these 10-12 hour days, 7 days a week. I would give anything to take a day off and stay in bed with all these achey muscles! I am getting way too old for this hard of labor! But I know the rewards at the end will be worth it! So here are some updates on pictures....

First pic...Jen & Ellie came to visit us and Ellie was learning how to color!
Workers replacing one of the three broken windows!
One full wall of shelves completed! only a million more to go...ha ha!


Front desk/counter...we have begun to bring boxes of books into the building...this is about 125 boxes and we have over 800 boxes total! These were just out of the small storage which is almost empty. (It was mostly lumber)
I made new windowsills....the old ones were so rotted away you couldn't even touch them. These turned out pretty good if I do say so myself!
A book on A Shelf! Ta Da!

Looking good! I drove past it about a week ago but traffic was so busy I couldn't get a good look. But it looked like no one was there at the moment. Can't wait to see more pics :-) hang in there...
