At least the nailing is straight.

Brad dismissing us with a quote from the Apostle Paul where Paul thanks some folks for helping him in his travels as he spread the Gospel. To us, as we read these names in the Bible, they're just a bunch of guys that were only important to Paul...kinda like our team, just a bunch of guys that Brad wanted to thank because we were important to him.
We put in all the interior walls...this is the hallway to the three bedrooms.
