Well, with things so slow right now in the economy Curtis finally decided he needed a 2nd job to help provide for this family. So with the help of Laverne he was able to find a graveyard shift at Rhodes Bakery in Caldwell for $9/hr to start($9.50 after 30 days). He might be able to get other positions that will pay more. Curtis wants a graveyard shift so he can keep his days open for any plumbing jobs that come up. He had his orientation on Wed and said it looked like a really easy job. It's in production so he'll be doing easy stuff like grabbing dough balls from the coveyer belt and packaging them and stacking boxes & stuff like that. Curtis starts the job Sunday night at 11:45pm. Actually, the schedule is Mon-Fri from 12 am to either 7 or 8 am (or somewhere in between). It's going to be wierd for awhile but it is a seasonal job so it will only last until about the middle of December, probably right before Christmas. And I'm excited because he gets to bring something home from the bakery every day. Woo hoo! If we start to get backed up with baked goods, we'll have to start handing them out :)
As for our house, Curtis finished the roof yesterday with the help of our nephews and did some cleaning up (with the help of his sister Shauna). Today will be a big day of moving the dining room sliding door and cutting out the two small walls! The siders will also be starting today. They already dropped off their materials yesterday. Not sure what time they'll start. And either today or early next week we'll have the tape and texture guys here doing their job. We're going to need painters soon! The HVAC guys also did some more of their work yesterday. They haven't hooked up to the main house yet. He said they want the tape and texture finished before turning on the AC in the addition, so it won't be too long of a wait. Everything is going great! I just hope we don't run out of funds before the job is done. I can't help but worry but we should be fine.

Wow - hope things wrap up well with the addition and that Curtis's job goes well!!! That'll be nice to have some yummy Rhodes items coming back, too! Let us know if we can be helpful, too - have a great day with all the progress you'll be making today!!! :-)
Good luck with your 2nd job Curtis!
GOOD LUCK NOT GAINING WEIGHT! Look what happened to me! Good thing your young and it comes off easily! LOL I just hope Curtis doesn't wear himself out doing this.
Hard working husbands are the best- bless them. Not to say that the women don't work hard- raising kids is a job too :0) Jon mentioned getting a 2nd job a while back and I just thought, "Ah you poor thing never getting to be at home!" But his current job keeps him late every day it seems...so I don't think he could get a 2nd job if he wanted to! Glad to hear the house is moving along- it will be nice it sounds like!
