Big & little...

The Habitat houses built in Mason are designed so the living/kitchen areas have a cathedral ceiling with two 14" exposed beams made of stacked 2x4's and varnished. They're very pretty and also VERY heavy. Last year the guys muscled them into place. This year the local electric company brought their boom truck to provide the heavy lifting. As you can see from the first photo an undertaking of this nature requires a LOT of supervisors. Both beams went quickly and neatly into place.

You might also note those clear blue skies, something we sometimes long for in NY. With temps in the high 80's it felt and looked more like we should be on safari. Unfortunately, there are no trees on the building lot or the surrounding ones that were also purchased by Habitat.

Not to be outdone by their elders, one of the nursery schools in town sponsored our lunch today. We suspect their teachers had something to do with us NOT being served peanut butter & jelly.
