[papercreters] Re: Judith's Abiquiu project

Thanks Judith for the update.
Glad things are moving along at a little faster pace for you.
We came home and went right to work on our project.
We got an 18' wide wall 10" deep filled and two smaller walls yesterday.
We were going to put up two windows today but the wind over ruled us.
Keep us posted on your progress.
