Step 1: Put all tools away (because there's a chance of rain for the next three weeks straight--not to mention the hurricanes.)
Step 2: Dam up dirt piles so they stop spilling into the sidewalk.
Step 3: Turn wheelbarrow over so it doesn't become a cess pool of mosquito larvae.
Step 4: Wait....and wait....and wait. Wait 'til your husband is back into the swing of grad school, wait 'til you're used to waking up at 6:00 am so that Amy can catch the bus at 6:30 am, wait 'til all the school orientations are over, wait 'til all this adoption mess is final, wait 'til Tammy, Sara, and Claire's birthday parties are over, 'til formal family portraits are taken, 'til Sara is sealed to us for time and all eternity, 'til Sara is blessed, and FINALLY, wait 'til after General Conference is over before getting back to work on the most important project for the house. Maybe the weather will be nicer and you can work for longer than 15 minutes before almost passing out and being forced back inside for water breaks to recuperate from the humidity--maybe.

Patience and persistence, right? Looks like you've got it down. Your time will come. Can't wait to see the finished project...
I still can't believe y'all are doing this yourselves. Y'all are awesome.
Tammy, I have thought of you so much since your visit to SLC. I hope you enjoyed yourself when you were out. I am sorry I was so totally self-absorbed then. Things are way more normal now. Any time you wanna visit Louisiana.....
Miss you.
Hey Joseph.
You couldn't always call Ethen and Rebekah...they'll empathize with you.
projects always get put off around here b/c of what's going on...although we don't usually try to tackle something quite so...um, adventurous! :) it was funny to read.
