Do You Love Me?

You know who your real friends are when you take on a serious home improvement project. Barring those folks in your life that are too old, too sick, or too far away, the people that love you are the ones the volunteer to help for free.

My in-laws have been incredibly generous, more than I could have ever hoped or asked for. My in-laws were over for dinner last night (before I went to work on the never-ending mural), and my father-in-law informed me that he'd already removed the non-code complying electrical pole. I'm not sure, but I think that he was going up there again today to install the new pole (quite a feat, its 18 feet long, and it needs to be buried 4 feet deep). I really can't believe that I deserve this kind of help. I'm so grateful that I worry I'll never be able to make it up to him.

To him and all our other volunteers (you know who you are), we owe you many thanks. If we survive this project, we make it up to y'all. One thing I know for sure, once we get moved in and mostly finished we're having a hell of a party.
