Great Day to be Great

Hello everybody! After starting off our day with a wonderful pancake breakfast, we followed it with our most productive day on the worksite. To go along with that the weather was the best it has been yet! As for progress on the house, we finished flooring the second floor, framed, sided and put up two walls on the second floor.  Completing all this in one day has everyone's spirits up as we continue to have a blast together. 

For dinner we treated ourselves to some fantastic homemade BBQ at Fat Daddy's where we got to meet the Fat Daddy himself.

After this we closed out the day by playing games together and enjoying each other's company.

hump day

After an awesome wake up call today for hump day, we started to lay down the subfloors for the second story. Some of us also worked on the last couple walls for the first floor. 

After a great day at work, we looked up at all that we had accomplished within the past few days. 

When we got back to the church, we finshed our soup for the potluck and helped the people from the community set up for it. We had a blast at the potluck with the people that live around here. After that they said we could stay and hear the pastor talk about the word around the cross. We also got to hear the Organist play after the potluck. He was very good and nice to talk to.

Movin' on Up

Hello everyone! It was a great 2nd day at the worksite. It was 60 degrees the whole day without a cloud in the sky. It was so awesome to have such beautiful weather! We arrived to the worksite and started off with a prayer. The work immediately started and we had a steady pace the whole day. We finished framing almost all of the first floor, nailed plywood to all the exterior walls, and even started working on the flooring for the second floor! Talk about a lot of progress! The team has been working hard and enjoying the time that we have together. I can't wait to see the progress we make for the rest of the week!

Here are some photos of us having a good time at the work site!

Below is a photo of our progress by the end of our second work day. We truly are movin' on up!

In continuing this great day, we had a delicious dinner of pasta, sauce, garlic bread, and salad. After dinner, we had an interesting scavenger hunt with some tricky riddles. We then ventured outside and it felt like a cool summer night. Some of the group played a game of baseball, until unfortunately the ball was lost. The group hung out for the rest of the night, enjoying each others company. We all have had such a good time together so far, and it keeps getting better each day. We are excited to keep building and having a blast for the rest of the week!

Thanks for reading!
