Construction THOUGHTS!


The crew ascended to the roof to build walls; our task for the week is to frame the second story of Deborah's House. It was slow at first, as we were trying to figure out how we were going to do this. Ray gave us some great direction, although we discovered that he was in and out all the time. Whether he was picking up the compressor, running to the hardware store, or buying dog food (they have 6 dogs!), his presence was very helpful. And above all this, we had a great crew that was willing to do whatever needed to be done. Amid the sunburns we offloaded a flat bed of lumber and sheathing. (Sheathing is 1/2 inch OSB material used on the exterior of walls in stucco structures.) We raised six 8-foot sections of exterior walls and two interior walls. Rich and Jon both received "owies" along the way. But never fear, Rich is better after showering this evening. :) It was a slow start, but we are very encouraged by what the rest of the week holds. We're going to build an awesome building!!!
