Here is "Project Bluegrass" which is simply some photos taken while building the house. We have had several people here working on the project with us. Including father Ed Plass, cousin Dale Hughes, brother-in-law Mike Rice and a few friends from Galena have also put in a day or two on the project. Although I still don't have all the photos in here yet, I am planning to have them in eventually. I'm trying to set them in sequencial order somewhat. You can click on each photo to see a larger version of it. Check back again as more photos get put in each week or so.
