...this is incompatible with an ultra-literal interpretation of Genesis, but long before Darwin, there were many thoughtful interpreters like St. Augustine, who found it impossible to be exactly sure what the meaning of that amazing creation story was supposed to be. So attaching oneself to such literal interpretations in the face of compelling scientific evidence pointing to the ancient age of Earth and the relatedness of living things by evolution seems neither wise nor necessary for the believer.

...we just didn't have a long enough lever.

The Mercers came over to help with the last steps: cutting the studs out of the wall and placing the beam.

The really great part is that we were able to accomplish this task with only minor damage to the drywall on the living room side - dings that will be relatively easy to fix.
