I do know that my husband will be working his butt off, but I do not think that all of the men will be working that hard. I think we should leave the men on the schedule, and if the women want to take the place of their men, they should. I don't know how much help I'll be, but I know that I plan on helping Steve some, if possible. And Jen is definitely going to be helping build her cabin. They haven't even dug their holes yet, so they have a lot of catching up to do. I do not think it would be too fair to have the women cook, clean up, and help build. I think this could end up being quite a hot topic. <br /><br />By the way, Al, so glad to have the blog back! I can't wait for the next 3 weeks to go by and for us to get up there!!!Kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417267350437176624.post-7092557679362899032009-07-15T10:57:23.747-04:002009-07-15T10:57:23.747-04:00The thing is... besides you, Corey, who have 2 chi...The thing is... besides you, Corey, who have 2 children to tend to... I know that a lot of the women are expecting to be working on the cottages. Remember last year when we talked about having teams? A builder on one team, one of the uncles, and a woman? We are going to have to have people answer honestly if they are going to be working or not. If you are not going to be working, then I think cleaning up is a good option. However, for the women that will be building, cooking, and then cleaning - when the men are just going to build... I don't think that is right. What do you all think?Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281806274248853280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417267350437176624.post-37154484536169420332009-07-15T04:52:08.425-04:002009-07-15T04:52:08.425-04:00So happy to read the blog!

The idea to pair up was for those who are only going to be there for one week and those who have new responsibilities. Just to make life easier. Sorry--us old ladies will take on the responsibility alone except for Sherrie who only will be there a week who will be pairing with Yully who doesn't have to participate but we are glad she is! Those staying two weeks should be prepared for a second perhaps Alison and Corey could team up the second week. Also because we are teaming up, it has been suggested that a dessert be provided as well! And don't forget you are responsible for the paper goods for that meal. I do agree with Corey, that men should be relieved of all kitchen duties this year. It might be a good idea if the person who cooks also be responsible for clean up. What do you think? <br />More later.Lorinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417267350437176624.post-23453699802586195382009-07-14T23:56:04.337-04:002009-07-14T23:56:04.337-04:00Al, I understand what you are saying about buildin...Al, I understand what you are saying about building others first since we already have rooms. That's fine by me and makes sense. Not sure if my parents will agree (as they will be tenting it) but so be it. Anywho, if Aunt Lori is reading this comment, I'm also curious to know - - will the men be relieved of washing dishes this year because of all the building they will be doing? I think we should have the women do it. More work for us but it beats pounding nails (I think!).Coreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15727347601358618588noreply@blogger.com
