Raise the roof, that I might see the stars
To gain wisdom, to see things for what they are
Please, I need proof
Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof

Ol' Axeman Jesse
On the top of the mountain
there is a clearing
and from that clearing,
you can see as far as you'd like
but only when the leaves are gone
and the summer is ended.

Foundation-Raising
A builder dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah sorry, you're in the wrong place."
So the builder reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the builder gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts making improvements. After a while, they've got geothermal power for air conditioning and composting toilets and well-insulated homes (helping keep cool in the summer...), and the builder is a pretty popular guy.
One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and says, "So, how's it going down there in hell?" Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning and composting toilets and great insulation, and there's no telling what this builder is going to come up with next."
God replies, "What??? You've got an builder? That's a mistake! He should never have gotten down there; send him up here."
Satan says, "No way. I like having a builder on the staff, and I'm keeping him."
God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue."
Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"

New Farm Drive
The first step after the groundbreaking ceremony, was to put in the driveway. That happened near the first of September.
