Tuesday - Making Progress

 Nikki

We made a materials stop on our way out to the worksite that s today.  We were hoping to order a delivery. Turns out same day deliveries seem to be a thing of the past for construction supplies.  We bought materials for one of our site projects - a small porch & stairs - that we could fit in our vehicles AND still fit all the youth. You know, because it's a youth event. Once we got out to the work site, emptied the van and got everyone started on something, the seats were taken out of the van and back it went to Lowes to get the rest of our supplies.  

We had a late lunch today, partly to get to a good breaking point and partly trying to wait for the materials crew to return.  Just as we were cleaning up lunch, it started to sprinkle.  We could hear heavier rain on it's way so we quickly packed up lunch and covered the van seats that were still out of the van.  Then it down poured for a about 10 minutes.  Since we had not actively started working yet when the rain came and we could tell it would be a short one we waited it out.  

Today's worksite accomplishments: Removed washer & dryer (temporarily) from laundry area for work to be done tomorrow, finished removing the vine that had grown up into the space between the original house and addition, built 5'x5' porch, cleaned up the bathroom for tomorrow's adventures, swept fallen branches & debris off the roof.  

I must be off to sleep now.

Today we woke up and had a good breakfast and our body's were nourished. I went to my job site and took out some concrete stairs because they weren't straight and then realigned them. We came back to the church and ate dinner, it was amazing.

Today, we woke up early for the worksite. In my particular case we had a great worksite. We went on a roof and help out the site. My faith has lifted
