Hello, all my friends on the Franklin Co. list: We had a good old fashioned "barn raising" this past few days, with the help of friends and family. I now have a roof on my house and it's dried in. I'm so excited, as you all that have watched your house being built can testify. Tomorrow, Pete and I will start framing the downstairs rooms (the upstairs is already done). Pete is building most of this house by himself, with me and our oldest local gson as go-fers. I will start writing up deeds again tomorrow afternoon. Tonight I'm spending my time answering my email, since I haven't really been on the computer for quite a few days. So starting tomorrow, HAPPY HUNTING. I hope that I find your kin. Rose Birdwell, Murphy, N.C.
