Ethan's dad (Greg) working on the first floor exterior walls
A HUGE Thank You to Dad for managing the whole project... Without him or Mom's support, this would not be possible. A thanks also goes out to Erin's dad, Dale, mother, Marsha, and several others who have helped, offered to help, or will help. You are all indispensable!
