My Talented Husband

I wanted to make a post about Jon. He is so talented in so many ways. He is an all around handyman, and an excellent welder. I really think he's chosen a profession that he enjoys and is absolutely fabulous at doing. Ever since he's become a certified welder his confidence and ability has sky rocketed.

We have been so blessed lately. With all of the break downs and repairs we've had to do it's truly been a blessing that he has been offered many side jobs this week to help us financially.

I'm amazed at what he can do with metal! Here are some pictures of his most recent project. He welded some new stairs for an apartment complex.

Here, Jon is cutting out the old rusted and rotted stairs.

After 17 hours of work...here are the new stairs.

This is looking down the stairs. It's pretty dark because it was getting late and the cement was still really wet.

So in the last 48 hours Jon has only slept 20 minutes. He went to work yesterday, then worked on these stairs until 6:30am this morning. After another 8 hours of work he went back to the stairs to finish off the cement. I keep begging him to go to sleep, but he still has more projects he wants to accomplish here at our house and sleep is last on his list. Good thing we have a relaxing family reunion to go to for the next 4 days so he can actually get some R&R.

Wow, what a crazy week for him. The stairs look great, hopefully he gets some rest this week. Have fun at the Zoo this weekend.
