Walls and a Race With the 'Toosoons'

We have almost all the exterior walls up now.(We lost several days while our framers finished up another house.) We are hoping to get the roof sealed before the summer monsoons arrive, however we have already had a few storms come through. Mostly wind, clouds, and dry lightening. Last night we got some rain, but the weatherman is promising a week of lower temperatures(the low 100's) and no rain. Usually about July 4th the regular rains arrive so our race is on. At this point we don't expect to beat them but we are hoping for some dry mornings when the roofers can work anyway.

The wildlife near our lot is abundant. We have seen bunnies, roadrunners, javelina, a bobcat(who meandered across the road right behind my husband),lizards, skunk, deer, and the neighbors saw a Gila monster in our electrical trench. No snakes yet but I wear boots out there 'cause I'm sure they are there.
