Seth Whitehouse- Today we got a bit done. It also rained a
lot today. I talked with the 18 year old Shilako while he and I were working on
the flooring. Everybody’s great to work with, and hopefully tomorrow we will
start tiling. I really don’t know what else to say, but I hope everything is
going well.
J.T. Mrozek- Rain, rain go away, come back…. Some other day.
Today we got a decent amount done, but yet again the rain ruined it! I mean I
got the rest of the dry wall up on the walls. And I built a stair case with the
help of a guy I like to call Alex. And the only really hard part is when you
need to screw stuff in and all of the power tools run out of battery, and then
the only other thing you have to use is this thing you call a screw driver. Now
I don’t know about you but it is very hard to screw screws in with a screw
driver. Especially when the wood is treated, but I also got some framing around
an open window in and some ply wood put in its place. But that is all I got
done today because right after the first 5 hours it started pouring rain. But
tomorrow I think I have plumbing ahead of me. Now it is time to go drink some
Mt. Dew and go to bed. Good night
Zach Foor- It rained. A LOT. It’s all good though because we
got a lot done. My feet smell bad right now and that’s odd because I washed
them… Anyways, I’ll write a better journal tomorrow. I’m having a blast here, just
to let you know. Meeting new people, it’s good to try new things.
James Spangler – Today we found out (thankfully) that the
pipe obstructing our pit was no longer in commission. Someone from the water department came up to
the site and looked at it, tested it by
cutting it halfway, then after nothing came out, he cut it the rest of the way
out. Because we dug half of the septic pit yesterday we were able to knock out
almost the previous days work in only two minutes. Danielle is being mean to me
cause I called her by her sisters name once accidentally. Anyway it started
raining like carazayyyy later, luckily only about an hour before we left. The
roads were practically flooded by the time we came back to the church. I wanted
to go tubing behind the van. Woulda been bomb.
Nikki Spangler – I had an exciting day in the rain
today. Since we have a dumpster on site,
we had the pleasure of emptying out a garbage ‘pen’ into the dumpster. The pen was about 3.5’ high and full. The top layers were not too bad, but the
bottom layers have had plenty of time to start decomposing and were in the
slime stage. Add the day long drizzle
and it was a pretty messy, smelly experience.
When I get pictures up, you will get to see the giant spider and giant
slug that posed for me. They are just a
representation of all the creatures that we disturbed. We had a knife throwing
contest this afternoon and I stuck the knife in the tree the first throw. (Don’t worry –
we used archery range safety practices.)
